Intrepid, if you don't mind me asking, what AD were you taking with the ritalin? How well did the combo work? Any nasty side effects? Do you have bipolar or depression? Do you have any problems with pain meds bringing on depression? I hope you don't mind my nosiness; I just want to know what other people experience with pain meds and what works for them on depression.
I probably should have titled the thread depression caused by hydro because that's what I am trying to get at. I may have to figure out some other way to treat my pain if hydro is going to disrupt my somewhat fragile mental balance.
