> I find it leaves my system pretty darn quickly.Nope just once a day now up to 150 mg XR. It makes me tired about 4 hours after I take it so I take it in the late afternoon. I feel sluggish in the mornings it is difficult to get out of bed. Then the mood swinging starts.
Do you take XR in split doses? I knew it had a short half life or whatever but I thought XR took care of that part of it. I mean isnt that the point of an XR med?
Although when I usually take xr meds like when I took adderall xr or even with the concerta I take now I find that it never lasts as long as they say it is supposed to- for instance adderall XR is supposed to last 8 hours and concerta 10 hours- I usually get about half of that.
