I think its kind of hard to do stimulant ratios...what I personally found was the 40mgs/Adderall was smoother than 60mgs/Ritalin and resulted in less anxiety, more sociability, a modest anti-depressant effect, and a smoother come-down..also, the effects on my appetite were a little less pronounced; I ate less, but still ate, and there weren't sharp ups and downs in my appetite. Overall, I'd tend to say Adderall/Dexedrine is the better stimulant; Ritalin seems like it might be better for fatigue and boosting antidepressants than dealing with concentration problems on a long-term basis.
