> Do you take immediate release Ritalin or one of the other formulations like Concerta, Metadate or Ritalin SR? Do you spread your Ritalin dose throughout the day or do you take it all at once?
I take three 20mg doses morning, early afternoon and early evening.
>I assume you take the Remeron at night because it's supposed to be so sedating?
Yes, I do, and it's the only hypnotic that has worked for me for such a long period (four months so far).>
> I had tried Dexedrine plus Remeron a few summers ago, but I was unable to tolerate the combo. That's just me, though. I have paradoxical reactions to almost all meds, so I think it's worth a try for the original poster.What side effects did you have from the combo? I do terribly on practically every anti-depressant but I found that benzos almost always helped. For instance, I did OK on Prozac in combination with Xanax, but I couldn't tolerate Zoloft, Effexor or Wellbutrin on their own, they made me irritable and agitated. But when I combined Wellbutrin with Klonopin there was no problem.
