I asked my psychiatrist a few weeks ago if ritalin would ever be prescribed along with sertraline, he stated that since both of them are stimulating the heart would be working over time. To put it in simple terms he said they would never be taken together or prescribed together. Huge risk of a heartattack!! And also addiction especially with the high of being on an anti depressant and a stimulant like ritalin simultaneously. Ask any psychiatrist or doctor, Jack's basically gone private and not informed her NHS doctor, thus taking sertraline from the NHS doctor and a private ritalin prescription simultaneously. She doesn't drink tho guys!! 100 days sober.
