In reply to switching stims.....my thoughts, and yours?, posted by becksA on February 23, 2007, at 15:28:25
Well, haven't tried the XR adderall (which is also going to that darn Barr labs!!! (See my recent posts.)But- in the past, I found ritalin xr to not be as effective as regular ritalin. I had to use more for same-ish effect. Same story with xanax and xanax xr.
My theory- it's got something to do with absorption? I also never comprehended the math of it. Ie, how is a 20mg XR tablet going to give the same blood concentrations as 10 regular, 2x per day? I'm not a math geniuous, I admit, but I nevertheless, I never managed to figure this out.
> i switched from aderal short release to XR, and have noticed a difference....First day so still hard to tell, but it seems like it kills my apetite more than helping the focus part, maybe it's just the day, i have nothing to do really anyway. It also seems like I have to take more than I did when I was taking the short acting formula.
