Default How addictive is Ritalin? - 02-08-2009, 07:04 PM

My doctor put me on Ritalin to help with my depression. Ever since I started taking it I've been having a lot more energy and its easier to focus on things. Now however i've been taking about double the amount i'm suppose to take in a day...its such a relief to feel good for once. My depression is still there I know but to have the energy to do thing and not only want to sit around and sleep is great. I feel like I'm not hurting everyone now by not wanting to be with anyone BUT i feel that if things keep going the way they are going....I'm going have a big addiction problem...I can't go back to the sad, lazy me...I like the way the Ritalin makes me feel but HATE the idea that I may become a drug addict!!!! What do I do? Who do I turn to when I both like and hate it??!?! I'm so confused!!!!My doc also thinks I have ADHD as well as depressionI talk to a therapist and have a psychitrist as well

talk to your doctor about it. Or some one you trust. don't want to get addicted. because I have an addiction and its hard to stop once you start.
