> For the ritalin, that's pretty normal. Try Ritalin SR. Its half life is 12 hours. You should feel more stable on it. If Ritalin gives you anxiety, you might consider to take it as needed only.
i think the half life of ritalin is 4 hours, and the SR releases over a 10 hour period
... but i'm not sure how it is released (probably not a constant rate)
... i read people reporting that the effects tend to wear off after 3 - 4 hours...
seems to last longer for me, but i'm on 2.5 mg of zyprexa so who knowsi'm curious where you read the half life to be 12 hours
