Kate, Sorry if someone has already said this, I haven't read all of your replies.
My questions: Your age
Family history of high blood pressure or heart probs
I wouldn't switch to any stim w/o a thorough physical and, if needed, a stress test(treadmill).
What has your doc said?
What, if any, are your other meds?
I took Ritalin for years, great drug. I tried Adderall, great drug. I tried Adderall XR, I like it the most. I took 40-50 mg daily of Ritalin and take 2 30mg time released Adderall a day. One when I get up in the morning and the other around 11-12.
My shrink tells me she's never seen anyone tolerate the amt of drugs I take. With the Adderall, I take 400 mg Wellbutrin SR, 60 mg Celexa, 2-3 mg Clonazepam. When I started AD's 20 years ago, I took 250-275 mg of Amitriptyline.

Let us know, okay,
Phil
