> LinkadgeHello,
Glad you are feeling better. I took Ritalin for many years and it rarely failed to increase my motivation and mood. In finding an A/D that worked i had to drop it. Earlier this week I asked my pdoc if I could add Ritalin to my Nardil or Marplan and he said no. If the MAOIs fail me this time around I wont hesitate to go back to Ritalin plus Zyprexa. I do miss it and the energy it gave me.
