Sorry i should have made that more clear. I was never on Ritalin consistently while I was on Nardil, i just have taken it on occasion. But each time i did i was fine, it worked as it normally did relatively, and no hypertensive reaction in the least.
Ritalin and Adderall are both similar in "strength" at comparable doses (i guess that's kind of an obvious statement though). But while on an MAOI, Adderall is definitely the more dangerous of the two, judging from my experience. Why I am not certain, but I would guess it is because Adderall is more adrenergic and/or noradrenergic than is Ritalin. But that's just my guess. However, it is possible that Ritalin has enough noradrenergic activity (as it is believed to have some for sure) to be dangerous at higher doses while on an MAOI, so caution is still advised of course. Just start low.


> > Ritalin (methylphenidate) can certainly be employed, (preferably under a doctor's cautious supervision, of course). I have taken Ritalin while on Nardil with no adverse effects at all. Definitely stay away from Adderall-- i had unpleasant effects even at very low doses (like 2 or 3 mg), and it's too risky and too many different amphetamines anyway. As azalea i think mentioned dextroamphetamine-- low dose probably-- can potentially be utilized, however. I would think that Provigil should be fine, too, but i'm not sure-- though i doubt that would be as helpful for hypotension, if that's for what you were considering it.
