Hi Nellie,
Thanks, that helps. I think we’re around the same age too (I’m halfway to 56).
I found this article from an Oakville Ontario add doc which was helpful: http://www.addadhdblog.com/biphentin-the-newest-addadhd-medication-in-canada/#b212a
It sounds like it might be good for me vs Concerta since I have the most trouble getting started in the morning. I have had big-time sleep issues (sleep study coming up) so I don’t want to mess that up. Right now I am experimenting with 10 mg Ritalin 3x/day. The ADD psych suggested I keep a log and see how I feel at each stage (before taking, mid-dose at 2 hrs, coming off at 4 hrs, etc) and see how it goes, then try adding 5 mg, etc.
At 10 mg I feel pretty good and I only get tired in the evening, which helps me want to go to bed. Have been having good night’s sleep except waking up around 6 am to go to bathroom, it’s light out by then, so maybe I need light-blocking shades in my bedroom to sleep in until 7 or 7:30 am. Maybe I should get up at 6 am but I haven’t done that in years since I’ve been my own boss
