hey! 80mgs is a pretty high dose, although some docs will go a bit higher ((not much)). The FDA-approved levels are: up to 40mgs/day ADD; up to 60mgs/day for narcolepsy. Obviously, docs aren't bound by this (I take 60mgs for ADD--30mgs morning, 30mgs afternoon), so higher doses are common. I think the advice to take a higher dose in the afternoon makes sense, as does trying to split the dose up evenly (that helps me). I used to take 30mgs XR, then 30mgs generic instant-release. My new doc accidentally RX'd 2 instant release tabs per day; I've found that, for me at least, this actually works better: the instant-release works faster, wears off gradually, and seems to have a bit more "oomph" than the XR.
