> Theo this is really encouraging to hear. Ritalin was the only thing that gave me drive and allowed me to concentrate, but I had such horrible mood swings I couldn't stay on it.Can I ask what you take it for; I take it in combination with prozac and other things to combat anxiety/OCD, the AP's leave me so sedated I can't get much done I have no drive unless I have some caffeine. Maybe I'm obsessed with Concerta, but I would be interested to know what effect ritalin previously had on you and what you take it for now. Thanks
