In reply to DEXEDRINE or RITALIN?, posted by PaulbWell on June 9, 2004, at 21:25:40
I personally don't care for ritalin, its too short living and I crash on it because I can't seem to remember to get my next dose in before the crash begins. I also gained weight on it, as soon as I would start to crash I would want to eat everything is site. I have had good results on dexedrine sr and short acting adderall combinations. 2 20mg dexedrine sr and 1/2 12.5 adderall in the morning. About 7 hours later 25 mg of adderall. Unfortunately I my system has become used to the combination and I am going to have to try focalin...which is a new form of ritalin. I am hoping after a month on this and a few medication holidays that I will be able to go back on my previous medications.
I have noticed that most medications work best on an empty stomach. Especially adderall. I wait atleast 1 to 2 hours before eating after meds. Anything acidic will also lower the absorption of your medication. Coffee and Pop have a negative effect also. Hope this helps. :)
