do not go off the ritalin just because you think it might cause suicidal ideation. i looked at the list of side effects and there is stuff like anxiety and dysphoria there, but there is a risk that if you stop taking the medication, things get even worse for you and you'll lose impulse control. a better road is to continue with the ritalin and try some nice new antidepressant with few side effects and see how that goes.
