My psych prescribed Ritalin for me as I was spending hours at work just staring out the window unable to concentrate or get anything done. I was feeling incompetent, stupid, and worried about my demanding, high-pressure job. I started taking 15 mg of Ritalin every day two weeks ago and it's completely changed my work life. I feel smart again, I'm productive, I don't feel like quitting or finding a less demanding job, I enjoy challenges, etc. I'm worried that I'm mis-using the Ritalin. Has anyone else had such positive results from it - and is it commonly prescribed in a situation like mine? I'll also be talking to my doctor about this next week. I haven't seen her since the turn-around.
I'm bi-polar and also take Depakote, Klonopin, and am making a switch from Risperdal to Zyprexa. I'm not noticing any symptoms of hypomania.
Thanks for any feedback.
