Anyone take a SSRI and Ritalin?

Posted by Ingo on July 9, 2000, at 11:52:53

Hi,
I started ritalin a while ago (for ADD) and it didnīt do much. Then I added Prozac and almost immediately felt some improvement. That was a week ago and it didnīt get much better than the first days. For those who take this combination, how long did it take for the SSRI to take full effect and how did it go the first couple weeks?

Take care,
Ingo

Prozac takes up to four weeks to kick in. At the time I took Prozac and ritalin, I had already been taking the Prozac and the addition of ritalin helped with attentional difficulties. The Prozac had been helping even out my mood.
