This is just my point of view – no scientific research done… but I think the effect of the stress and the effect of the Ritalin are 2 separate things. I wondered about this question myself and I have been trying to pay attention to it.
I think that the stress decreases my mental abilities.
I think that Ritalin increases my mental abilities.
I don’t think that more stress = a need for more Ritalin. My reasoning: Ritalin, for me, works best at a specific dose. Too much or too little, and it’s not helpful. So even if stress is decreasing my overall abilities, I think more Ritalin would just make that even worse, because I would be overdosed, which would just make the situation worse, not better…
Again – purely my own thoughts based on about 4 months of Ritalin use…
