No way is it more rough than Dex. For my son it has been a miracle drug. He is 18 and had been through everything else. For me, although it did work it also caused great sadness and melancholy so I couldn't take it. He takes 60mg of XR in the morning and has been for over a year now and it makes a huge difference for him where no variety of Ritalin did, or Adderall or Dex or Strattera. As someone who has taken Dexedrine also, that was one of the worst butt kicking meds in the stimulant category that I've ever taken. I couldn't sleep no matter how early in the morning I took that stuff; heart thumping out of my chest no matter how low the dosage was. I know everyone reacts differently to meds; that's for sure, but I guess I have one great and one mixed reaction to Focalin in my family.
