Im scripted 80mg Ritalin, theres no Ritalin here on 10mg and 20SR Ritalin and thoes white 5mg Dexamphetamine tabs, Dex is used at half the dose, so i wonder if he would start me on 40mg Dex-probley not, more like 10mg daily? which i SHOULD be allowed to try after nearly 1 and half years on Ritalin starting at 10mg 2x day, up to 80 IR now.
Perhaps il say "it gives me Caffeine-like jitters sometimes and is their any other options"? which is true BTW
I did mention dex to the Psy who put me on Rit and he looked away quickly-so mentioning any pill is probley not a good idea, the Docs like to make their own minds up and be in control i'v noticed.
Have you taken Rit and Dex? what would you describe the differences as?
Cheers
