YES! I found extended xanax to be a mere shadow of the regular version, Ritalin LA barely worked for me and when it did, just for a very short time. Meanwhile, regular ritalin very potent and lasting. Tried Concerta briefly- it didn't seem to do anything for me at all. I didn't metabolize these drugs how the companies claimed, either.
