Thank you Toofat. It seems that I need to take 15mg ER every 8 hrs to keep going, or I power out physical & in my mind. I I think is to lay down a pass-out! Very inconvenient most times. It is find when I have free time. I sometimes will take only the morning one, then Caffeine 200mg in afternoon instead. That often will do for a while, when my jaws is biting down & giving me a real headache. It has been just over a year now. I am finding that Dex is loosing its ability to keep me going.
I have read up on this medication & as well as Concerta. This does not work at all on me. It seems that I react on the opposite! As noted above. I read that is nicknamed ‘Speed’. Many medication has side-affects. I am always open to alternatives.
Gum does have some effect, however, my jaws get so sore of chewing & have to stop. It is more towards the second half of the day, that this jaw clamping down occurs. It is frustrating. I often bite the inside of my mouth for no apparent reason. I have to keep reminding myself to relax & turn off. An on going battle.
