I'm taking 30mg of Ritalin LA, and I do find that I am more focused and am accomplishing more... However, I still have trouble prioritizing and being mindful of how I am spending my focused time. When I first started, I felt very aware of what I was doing, and what I should be doing... That wore off within a couple weeks. I've upped the dosage, but still don't feel as methodical/aware... Any experiences like this? Might adderall be a good switch?
Thanks for replies!

I have never taken Adderal.
I take ritalin. It has worked great. I never expected 100% results. I have gotten about 80% which was a lot more than I expected when i started. Are your expectations high? If I am not mistaken Adderal is a stronger medication. My Dr. said if I want to take something long term its the way to go. I guess he isnt thrilled with time release ritalin. I take the 4 hr ritalin 3 times a day. I get out of school at 8:20 at night 2 days a week. The fast acting works well for me. I have no problems sleeping and by spreading the doese out to 3 times a day have no crashes or periods of bad ADD crap.
