Yeah, I've heard of all those pipeline drugs. They take a while to actually get to market.
For now I'm going to try Ritalin LA. My doctor just gave me the script yesterday. I won't be able to fill it til the end of next week due to insurance authorizations.
But it may be OK. I told him that Concerta was only only working for four hours and he was baffled. So he started rambling off the ADHD meds and I had to remind him I'd taken them before. He was about to give me Adderall! I hated that stuff.
But luckily one of the drugs mentioned was Ritalin, so he prescribed Ritalin LA, 20 mg. Does that seem low or high? Is it a starter dose? Remember I've been taking 54 mg Concerta with little effect, so I'm not new to stimulants.
