> jojo, I have personally tried Ritalin, Dex, and Adderall, in adjunct w/ antidepressant. With Ritalin the duration is only about 45min. to 1 1/2 hours depending on the day and it is pretty gentle on my system and mood. sometimes not and i crave more. With Dexedrine the effects are somewhat time released throughout the day which I like but it's more harsh on my system---more headaches, dry mouth,etc....but in a low dose like 10mg or possibly 15 for some people, it might work like a charm. Aderall is pretty much like Dexedrine and find taking 10mg either once or twice a day suits me best without irritability or nausea. Taking 20mg of either Dex or Add usually creates a bad mood swing in me when it wears off and I crave more.
I guess we respond quite differently. I never crave either Ritalin
or Adderall. If I don't take them I just sit
around and don't do anything. They help to get me moving.
