> You may need to release the medication more slowly. Ask your doctor about 18mg tabs of Concerta (take 1/day). That might fix it. That BP you gave really isn't that bad. I am going to be trying Focalin probably next week as an experiment. I will let you know what happens.

***********************************************Hi.
I tried Focalin for a couple of days shortly after it first came out. Let me warn you. . .For me, Focalin is VERY INTENSE!! Be sure you take only half the number of milligrams (or even less than half) of what you'd take if you were on Ritalin. Focalin is much more potent than regular ritalin. It was too intense for me, but I'll probably try it again some day at an even lower dose.
