I haven't had my ritalin for almost two years because my doctors messed up. I thought I would never get that med back. It really helped. Then a new doc says I can have it back. I feel happy. Then she says, she don't prescribe IR, just XR, and XR does not help me at all unless I open up the capsules, then it helps a little. But also (breaking capsules or not) it gives me nausea.

So. I get used to the idea of never having it again. You know the sadness. Then I get it back. But I don't.

Anyway. They switched you from one class to another class of meds. No wonder you feel different. Why did they not switch you to adderall? It is chemically related to vyvanse. concerta is not at all chemically related to vyvanse. Adderall isn't all that expensive I think?
