I would try taking 5mg doses every 3 hours (5-6 tabs daily). It's a drag to have to dose so frequently, but that's dex for you. I found no evidence of crash until about the 3 1/2 hr. mark, and by 4 1/2 hrs it was definitely under way, and by 6 hrs. totally crashed (back when I took it). Thank goodness you don't have to deal with short-acting methylphenidate! Another thing I found that helped was avoid taking a tablet first thing in the morning-try couple cups of strong coffee instad and then wait a couple of hours or so before your first dose.
