In reply to please chime in on favorite long-acting stim, posted by hok on December 4, 2002, at 13:45:29
i suggest giving the concerta a fair try... it's a much more subtle drug in my opinion.
no, it's not going to give you the big kick the others do, just a small surge, which might be why you weren't satisfied...
but it's also the reason it's truly effective as a time-release ADD med... it's created to only release a small amount immediately & then continue dosing for up to 12 hrs... which is about how long i think it lasts for me.. i have no sleep problems from it & i don't crash eitherfyi, i take 54mg 1x a.m
hope this helps

> I'm trying to decide with my therapist which long-acting stimulant to try after using Focalin or Ritalin for years now. The only long-acting one I have tried was Concerta and I didn't like it that much, although I feel like I didn't give it a fair trial. Since I have never tried Dexedrine, my doc wants to try the XR version --Adderall -- first.
