A member asked:
Can you tell me if i were to stop my antidepressant or ritalin, (methylphenidate) would my adhd symptoms return?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Ritalin-Yes ADHD: Definitely if you stop your ADHD medications-Ritalin your ADHD sympotms would return--If you are inatentive type or the hyperactive type or Combined type symptoms would return. If you stop the antidepressant which iis SSRI it should not affect your ADHD. However if you are on a tricylic then it may affect the return of your ADHD as well.
