Is that Focalin (Methylphenidate D-isomer) IR? lasts untill 8? WOW!, Methylphenidate (D@L isomer) lasts a couple hours) usually.

On the Remedyfind website, (ADD/HD) the reviewers have rated Desoxyn (Methylamphetamine Hcl) the highest in effectiveness in relieving symptoms.

Dextroamphetamine is next, followed by Adderall, then methylphenidate.

I guess it's time to see my PsyDoc and enquire about other treatments, althought my PcDoc has mentioned Strattera, which i have read mixed reviews about.

Cheers
