Re: is 20 mg twice daily ritalin SR a lot?

I think 40mg/day of methylphenidate is fairly average.

How long have you been at that dosage?

Also, my previous pdoc HATED Ritalin SR, he would not write for it. He told me I could have Ritalin IR, or Concerta, or Metadate, but not the SR. He said that it was basically a wax tablet and that it's dissolve rate and delivery of MPH was very erratic and unreliable.

So, if you can afford it, you may want to ask your pdoc for the 54mg Concerta tablet. That would be a slight dose increase, plus a top quality controlled release mechanism.
