I have taken ritalin for many years. I usually need to take klonapin for the associated anxiety. It also stimulates my speech to the point that at times I am obnousious. I have no control over this. I have decreased it from 100mg day to about 40. But the net effect is I have little energy and less mood elevation. If I do not take it as I sometimes do I stay in bed all day. So I have found a comprimise. My pdoc says there are several other stimulants that have greater potential for mood elivation. I have tried many and for other physical reasons am unable to take them. My advice, for what its worth, is if it helps at least until you find something else to replace it (the stimulant) why suffer more than you have to.
