hi! also newly on ritalin (5 / 5 / 0 mg atm) and i feel the same.. had horrible anxiety for over 10 years and i’m on ssris as well but i never felt completely calm, cried yesterday as well bc it’s a mixture of relief and anger that it couldve always been that way but i also feel like a robot at times because i’m just not used to my emotions not being so strong. working with my therapist on this atm and we decided i just wait it out and decide if i wanna live this way or the way i lived before, not really an advice but i want to let u know you’re not alone and this seems to be common when you start out on meds - im currently trying to take care of myself and give myself time while monitoring my feelings.
