Hi Charlotte:
Have you ever considered trying Concerta, since you're already used to the ritalin effects? It's a good extended-release form of ritalin. One pill lasts up to 10-12 hours and I find that it releases it pretty steadily throughout the day. But stimulants have different effects on different people. While I liked the Concerta, I personally prefer adderall XR, which I'm taking now. You can take one pill per day and it releases two doses of adderall 4-6 hours apart. It has alot less of a depressive/crash feeling for me. Dexedrine Spansules is another sustained release preparation, and I've heard from some people that it's even smoother than adderall, but I believe it doesn't last as long as Concerta or adderall XR. Just give each a trial until you find which works best for you. Best of luck,
Peter
