My experience is that these are two very different meds, despite both being stimulants.
Adderall is the same Meth on the street and the illegal drug trade that causes so many longterm problems, except with a prescription and a nod instead of illegal drug dealer. It can help in the short term. Long term is not so promising.
I thought that Adderall felt like speed, or street drugs to keep me awake to study for a final exam all night long. But it wasn't pleasurable in any way. It also made me extremely darkly depressed. Terrifying.
Ritalin felt not like speed, but sort of like the pleasurable side of cocaine, only a lot more tame. Ritalin improved my depression, nuked anhedonia, improved sleep! The best sleep I ever had, the most natural sleep ever, was on the stimulant Ritalin! Go figure. And it got me engaged again in activities, social and hobbies.
I think each person will respond differently and so a personal trial is the only way to find out.
> I've used adderrall before with outstanding results but had to stop because if rapid heartbeat.....can I expect the same from Ritalin?
