I live in Aust and have tried both with me it was really a decision of economics.The govt subsidies dex however Ritalin is not covered under our PBS system.
Through my experience Ritalin was good for 1.5 hours than I was getting rebound effects so basically within 2hours I had to keep taking my prescription.With the dexemphatamine the effect came on gradually within and I began to feel it fading within 4-5hrs but gradually.
I must admit my focus was more intense with ritalin and was able to absorb more information within the 2hour or thereabouts time frame.
In Australia they have introduced Concerta and Ritalin LA which is a slow release formula of ritalin but I do not know whether its as effective as the immediate release.
You might consider it because the side effects are fewer.In OZ concerta costs something like $120 vs dexemphatamine which retails for $25.
Please note that wasn't a typo error,yes a $100 difference.
take care and i hope the all blacks start winning world cups again.
