Doesn't it seem like doc's push Adderall, Ritalin, and Concerta, but not Focalin?
It's nice to know that there's another option though.
I went to see my doctor and told him the 20 mg Ritalin LA b.i.d. just didn't seem like enough. Adderall was the strongest drug I've ever had, but that I was up, down, hot, cold, allll over the place... he didn't want me to go there again.
So, I've now been increased to 30 mg Ritalin LA b.i.d. I'm having insurance problems right now though, so it wasn't approved.
I haven't been stimulant-free in a year now (went from Straterra to Provigil to Concerta to Ritalin). It's only been two days, but I feel horrrrrrible! I'm not actually falling asleep, just extreeemely tired, achy, cranky, and disconnected. NOT fun!
I normally have to drink caffeine from coffee and diet coke from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep on top of the meds. This shows how messed up my body really is!
