Felt prompted to share my lunch. Feeling healthy (yes one of the pills is MP as well).

Hope that's decaf. Methylphenidate and caffeine really don't mix well.

I've had zero issues and my psych hadn't said anything either

Lucky you! I'm just getting started so I'm not allowed to drink caffeine as it would falsify the effects. The "manual" (Packungsbeilage in German) also says that caffeine can have an adverse effect, making you completely jittery and unable to concentrate. But every person is different and you lucked out I suppose.

The capsule is the MP, the lengthy one is escitalopram (an SSRI antidepressant), the round ones are thyrostatics, for my autoimmune hyperthyroidism.

Does this combination work for you? Have you tried an SNRI like venlafaxin?

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

It works really well for me! Since I've been on both, my mood has been ok almost every day, for the first time since puberty (10-15 years ago). Psych said that's a known effect of this exact combo.
