Tried the spansules, yuck! I think I will stick with the Ritalin. Question - if I am taking 5 mgs. of Ritalin 2 x day and feel good, if I raise it to 10 mgs. 2 x day I get too jumpy. Is this a med you need to get used to and then go up on the dosage or should you stay with as low of a dose as possible? Pdoc said Concerta only came in 18 mgs.? She thinks it would be too much for me (too jittery/nervous) What about Ritalin SR? What is the difference between Ritalin SR and Concerta? I am finding with the morning dose I feel great, but the afternoon dose seems to bring on the physical symptoms (tired, achy, yucky). Do you guys have any dosing tricks I can try to even this out a bit? Thanks for answering my questions. You guys are the best!!!
p.s. Fachad, you crack me up about taking the ****ing dosage every two hours all day long!!!! Ain't it the truth???!!!
