I was just given a prescription for ritalin, which I have yet to fill. I've been too depressed to get to the store. I was hoping I'ld get adderall because a number of members here seem to find it helpful. The psychiatrist I saw said that the stimulants are pretty much all the same. I didn't want to seem med-seeking, so I just took what he gave me.

What he said seemed like an odd thing to say. Does anyone have experience using different stimulants? If so, was one better than another?

I took ritalin some years ago. It killed my appetite and made me think a lot. My dose had to be reduced because it gave me muscle tension in my face. I wasn't on it long.

I'm hoping this will help me stay awake in the morning. I go back to this doctor in three months. Any info on different stimulants that anyone can give me will be appreciated.

Thanks
