Methylphenidate Hydrochloride. That's allow release Ritalin to you and I. ADHD is a big contributor to my depression. A combination of many small failures each day with natural self-criticism. I not too hard on myself- I just mess up a lot.
I've done the antidepressant thing when I first moved into independent living. The GP gave me one antidepressant and I experienced every single side effect except the most serious ones(kidney failure etc). I got the nausea, the weight gain, all of it. Then it didn't work after 6 weeks so the GP changed me to another antidepressant. Same side effects reset all over again. That went on for a year and I went from being slightly underweight to being very obese. I still don't eat very much most of the time yet I'm huge. It's another contributor towards my depression.
