hi there
Thank you so much for inquiring. I've been very happy with the focalin XR!!! Definitely crisper & brighter and I do like that I feel it faster. :)
No crash, like I feared and the 2-20's, though less of a dose (using the 1/2 dosing conversion) than the concerta 2-54's, still seem to work just fine.
I realize, like I mentioned earlier, that coming off of my adhd meds by the end of the day probably contributes to my inertia in the evening so I have considered whether I should take something, like you do, later... but right now, I'm just going to stick with this regimen and see how it goes
as I also said, I've been dealing with tremendous stress as well (bureaucratic as well as emotional), the timing for trying a new drug was really scary and though it can't take away the emotional problems, at least it was able to help me accomplish dealing with the bureaucratic stuff - though I was having meltdowns every day LOL
whew!
I so appreciate your support and help. Getting me that info about the free 30-day supply was a real blessing, as it gave me a 2 week trial immediately! (since they only give you 30 pills and I take 2 a day)
I am eternally grateful to you for that one!! :)
oh yea, I do have 1 question... did it make you feel a bit gassy at first? I don't know if it's from the focalin or something I'm eating but I've had some stomach bloating and gas - I think it's going away or at least I hope it is :)
hope you continue to do well... thank you again and again
namaste,
lilith
