I got these terrible migrains from ritalin, then switched to adderall.
But adderall lasted in me from 6 in the morning to 10 at night-- even though doctors claim young children will come off it in 4 hrs. that's such a lie, unless I'm hyper-sensitive to it.
If I took all-day adderall, that'd be like two days I wonder.
Anyway, adderall's smoother if it really bothers you to crash. Or add clonidine or tetrex, both alpha blockers, and it'll chill you out enough and leave you with less anxiety if ritalin causes that.
adderall won't cause a crash. I just switched back to ritalin because I enjoy eating lunch too much to miss it, and ritalin lets me decide when to "turn it off" by planning to take it so it's gone in four hours. I like switching to ritalin mode for class and then sober mode for chilling out of class.
