Your post comes right when i am struggling with ritalin. I have taken it off and on for a long time, mostly for work. Sometimes it would help. But it is also the only thing that has touched my anhedonia and at times my mood. Unfortunately I dont offer any good news from my situation. I have tried quite a few meds over 30ish years.
Because i have been so treatment resistant and stimulants are the only thing that have touched mood and/or motivation, my dr recently actually suggested trying to increase my ritalin, take it consistently, and throughout the day as it only seems to last about 3-4 hrs with the long-acting for me. I crashed a couple of times pretty hard over the weekend and it is losing its effectiveness. Today i have been trying to hold back tears as i really wonder if what i am afraid of will really shortly happen.
Anti-psychotics make me more depressed and agitated. I have tried amantadine and am currently on wellbutrin. Im not sure if the wellbutrin is actually helping though.
