Reviews for Methylphenidate to treat Depression

Methylin ER (methylphenidate): I've been on antidepressants from the old style to the newer SSRI's, SNRI's and others and nothing worked. My doctor suggested Methylin ER and my depression lifted in two days and I haven't had a relapse. It's been about a year now and I'm still as happy as can be. I don't sleep for 12 hours or more anymore either. I can wake fully rested with 8 hours sleep and do anything my heart desires. Methylin ER is truly amazing and I'll never go back to an antidepressant as long as this keeps working.

Ritalin (methylphenidate): I was diagnosed post traumatic stress disorder from Iraq war and also which goes along with adult ADHD and depression. They say it has a lot to do with my mind, has so many thoughts of what happened, what is happening, etc. racing through it that I guess it basically just gets worn out like exercising but once they started Ritalin 20 mg three times a day it helped a lot. More focused, less worried and in time just felt more rested and calm. But did have to force to eat at first. Lost my appetite until I got used to it.

methylphenidate: This medication has helped my depressive mood due to bipolar disorder. I was severely depressed without energy and suicidal, and this medication helped me get out of that dark hole I was in.

methylphenidate: I was diagnosed with ADD at the age of 30, Ritalin has changed my life and I'm not sure I could function as an independent adult without it at this point. I am now able to make goals and follow through with them, my mood is more stable, I look forward to waking up in the morning again and it doesn't affect my appetite too much. You do need to make sure you find your dose for optimal results. I feel Vyvanse works better but is too expensive for me at this time and it takes away my appetite and keeps me up too late.
