Ritalin can make you agitated & unpredictable. I also had to increase dosage continually to maintain wakefullness. My marriage would have Dissolved had I not gotten off Narcotic type meds.. I'm now taking this new med. "Provigil". It's working really well for me. No agitation at all!
I know it's a risk to change meds. but isn't your marriage worth it? Besides, you can always go back to your old meds. if something new doesn't work. FYI - Provigil is a NON-NARCOTIC!!!
Good Luck, Vern
