I'm hoping to Focalin XR next month and will happily give feedback.
When I tried Focalin I found that the effects were very similar to the same dose of Ritalin, if anything it made me even grouchier than Ritalin.I wonder if the XR technology is the same technology used for Metadate? I know it isn't as sophisticated as the Concerta technology which makes me suspect that its duration will be shorter. I have always found that the time the ADHD meds are effective is between 60% and 80% of the documented time.
Unfortunately the amphetamines then keep me awake for another four hours after they stop working.
