I've done both with Ritalin, increase the dose and take immediate release also. Time released Ritalin, in general, sucks. Also w/ Ritalin, it's best to stay w/ name, not generic.
I switched to Adderall then Adderall XR @ 90mg a day. I think the Adderall is better overall..smoother. I never get after lunch yawning fits! I'm not familiar with Concerta and some of the others.
My pdoc didn't want me to go over 60mg on the Adderall and said to just take the second dose whenever I had to to make it thru the day. After going back a second month complaining about my 5 pm bedtime, she wrote it for 90. Worst thing is to take stims that work half a day..what about night, life?
