Like Micheal said, I don't get high on Ritalin. For the first day, I was aware of "speeding." After that, the differences I observed were that the mental fog cleared, my sleep patterns became normal, my jangled nerves were soothed, and I lost my appetite (that one is a little hard to get used to).
I actually took double my current dose once, during the initial trial. It put me to sleep
almost immediately... so for me, Ritalin seems pretty much self-regulating. 'Course what I didn't consider when I jumped into this thread is that I am taking Ritalin for ADD, which means I really shouldn't say anything about it as monotherapy for depression. Sorry I missed that rather obvious point.
