Ritalin tolerance? | ADHD Information

Hello...

I have been on Ritalin for about a year now, and love it.  However, it used to last about 3.5 hours, and now I am lucky if I get through 2.5 without it wearing off.  I have tried the longer lasting ones, but liked the control of the shorter version. 

Has anyone gone from Ritalin to something else, and if so what was it and what were your experiences?  I see my shrink in early April and want to discuss going on something else for a small period of time so my body can "forget" the Ritalin and then I can go back on it again.  DOes that makes sense?

Thanks...  SPacegal

You've said you've tried the longer lasting. Have you tried Ritalin LA? I was on Ritalin for 5 years 3 times a day I didn't think This would work for me. I'm having really good luck with this so far.  Good luck!
