I recently traded my meds for some Ritalin (methylphenidate). As my doctor refuses to prescribe it, I felt like I had to take matters into my own hands.
The effects on 20mg are INCREDIBLE. I actually did some work, I managed to finish some art for the first time in months, the suicidal thoughts are gone. They come back when the drug wears off, though. I've been taking this 2 times a day at 20mg, for a few days now. My anhedonia went way down, too. Massive difference.
I also found some studies that claim stimulants can help treat treatment-resistant depression that I think are worth looking into.
