Hi Katekite,

Mitch and Fachad suggested Concerta, and I agree. For me, Concerta is the best of the methylphenidate formulations. It is by far the smoothest, most consistent and most sustained form of MPH I've tried.

By the way, not every one has this experience with regular ritalin, but I found that it seemed to wash out of my body so quickly (i.e., it had a really short half life). By the time the blood levels were supposed to be peaking, I had about one-half hour of feeling OK, and then rebound set in. For me, regular ritalin is OK only if I'm using it to augment an antidepressant; otherwise, by itself, it's just not long-lasting enough and the rebound was unbearable. I think Concerta is worth a try.
