> Well I saw my GP today and had a great chat with him. We went through my previous meds and I said to him, "After everything I've taken and other things I've looked into, I'd like to try Ritalin."

I guess I would like to take it everyday, but I am so afraid of a probable tolerance setting in. In addition to that, I am very underweight. A stimulant is not good for my appetite.
The dose that does it for me is a silly 2.5mg. I take a 10mg and break it in quarters.
I'm excited you felt such goodness! You deserve it. It will require more responsibility going forward than a reuptake inhibitor would, but I'm sure you are aware of that.
