12 mg patch - it's non-selective at this point. ( Fwiw, due to it being the patch, I haven't been watching my diet at all. In a post market study of ~40,000 people over and extended period, there were two hypertensive crises reported, which IMHO, are more likely to be misdiagnoses than anything else.)

Fwiw, you may want to try it with 1-3 cups of coffee next time - it may make the difference for you. Ritalin is, well, crunchy. I don't like it either. It's less unpleasant than adderral, I suppose.

The downside of the patch? The US is the only country where a drug invented in the 60s, and a delivery system invented in the 90s, that would have cost $250/month out-of-pocket in 2014, costs $250/month after insurance. The out-of-pocket would be $2300/month. Obscene.




Yeah,I just checked again and I can't even get the patch here. They only have the 5mg tablets.

Anyway, thanks for the info.
