I've been taking more of my medication then I'm suppose to! I just can't stop myself! My self-control is basically nill!! I've tried to just stop but the withdrawl is the worst thing in the world to handle!! Its like I can't be normal with out taking a lot of the medicine!! How the heck do I stop before it goes to far and I end up over dosing?! And honestly I don't even care at this point if that really happens...

The person who made you take it should be the one giving it to you. Why are you self medicating? How old are you?

Ritalin is a form of speed. You are craving the speed. This is not a good combo since you are also taking an antidepressant.

You need to contact your doctor's office immediately and tell them. Apparently the combination of these two drugs are not agreeing with your system. You could end up doing harm to yourself and not realizing it until it's too late.

One or the other medication needs to be changed immediately.

Sweetheart, throughout life we or a lot of us suffer from different types of addictions.please as other person above suggested talk to your doctor it could be on top of any addiction you might have you are having a bad reaction to some combination of meds. You are taking at least talk to some of your friends about how you are feeling.these antidepresants can mess with your ability to think clear then by adding ritlin on top of that,get some one to check out the combination of meds. You are taking.there is way too much to see and do in life to go out like that so I ask you to call a help line or at least a good friend and get yourself some help. Be wise please
