Re: Does extended release work for everyone?

Thank you guys for your input! I’m so glad to hear that other people didn’t really get much of the extended release as well!

Brentitude, Right now I’m hesitant to try a higher dose of concerta because it’s so expensive and I don’t have coverage or much money at the moment. I think when I go back to the doctor I’ll ask to go back on methylphenidate. I’ll just try and time it so that the next pill starts working as the previous one wears off.

Hans, that is a good idea, but right I’m working 2 jobs and for the one I have to take it about a half hour before work (about9:30)at least to get the most out of it. And my other I like to take it when I start. But it’s tough cuz some days I start at 1 pm and then that means it’ll wear off by 1 am, but it doesn’t seem to keep me awake. Another reason I don’t Think it works that well. Also that’s why I think the Reg stuff will be better, cuz I can take it for a shorter period of time in the afternoon when I only need it for a few hours.

And hyperman! Thanks for you input. I can relate to the feeling about tic tacs! Very expensive tick tacs at that!

Thanks again guys for helping me out with this!
