I don't doubt that ritalin can cause one to become exhaust, but that is probably due to causes other than dopamine reuptake blockade. Remember ritalin at normal prescribed doses is not a dopamine releaser. It increase the dopamine and norepinephrine that is already available. I could see this with a drug like amphetamine which is a releaser.
