Hi, I think you'd probably find concerta superior if you found crashes to be a problem before on ritalin.

I actually think this an inherent problem with short-acting stimulants: an innate mammalian compulsion to push the reward buttons in the brain.

But yes, if a lack of peripheral side effects are an attractive characterisic of dex, then as somebody with compulsive behaviour, and i had to make a choice between the two, i would probably plump for ritalin.

Concerta in my experience is a more suitable treatment than, and preferable to, either dex or ritalin as its smoother, less distracting (without the peaks and troughs of t.i.d dosing), less prominent rebound, mood supporting etc.

It felt recreational.But i've found the right dose of concerta has given me opportunities i never had before, now i just need to get off my *rs* and do something about it.

> yeah, the lack of peripheral side-effects made redosing with dex past my prescribed limit far too tempting. in that sense, i actually find the 'abrasiveness' of ritalin therapeutic, as i have no desire to indulge; it strictly makes me more productive, which is good for someone with an addictive personality.

> granted i never stayed on either stim very long. i'd like to try concerta, but wonder if it might agree less with my OCD. do you find it superior to ritalin?
