Ritalin & SSRI
Hi,

I just started taking ritalin and had quite a noticeable drop off later in the day when the meds wore off and felt quite out of sorts.

I saw the doctor and he said that it was the serotonin levels so he prescribed me an SSRI (a very low dose) to counteract it.

Has anyone had this combo.

Steve

Yep -- and I don't know if it was stress at the time or what, but I got really paranoid and edgy and angry -- but like I said, it could have been stress.

What type of Ritalin are you taking? Long or short acting?
