Well....I was on Concerta before, and the only reason I stopped it is because of the price. Now that I have a good job and income, I can "blast my dopamine system" with some Concerta :-) Really, I think all of these years of SSRI use has really, really toned down my dopamine system, and yes I did find comfort with Concerta. It wasn't one of those "cravings", just a simple 'take it once a day in the morning' things, and it's all forgotten about. My pdoc gave me regular Ritlan(sp?) for now, but the ups and downs really suck. I've read of some people who divide their Ritlan dose up to 8 or more time a day, just to keep things 'smooth'. That actually scares me, and brings up images of cravings and withdrawls. What do you folks think?
Thanks,
Jay
