Re: Concerta vs Ritalin

Thanks, librarian_chef.

What do you mean by sprinkled? And if you know, when would a doctor prescribe one over the other? I like the control I have over taking the Ritalin, I can spread the dose out if I want or not take it in the evening.

I haven’t been assessed yet (process starts next week) but I did do a three week trial with my husband’s Ritalin.

When I told my family doctor that yesterday, she pretty much freaked out and said that Ritalin was a stimulant and addictive and that she would never prescribe it but (once assessed) she might prescribe Concerta, Adderall and Focalin (I think that’s what she said). So if what I am reading on the wiki article is true, she was full of baloney since they are the same drug.
