Daytrana patch adhd not working as well as adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine)?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: These are two different types of stimulants. Why was the switch made? And what dose of the patch is being used? You need to let your physician know.

Yup: Daytrana is an effective way to deliver methylphenidate through the skin. But it is also very tricky to place the patch correctly. The med is in the adhesive, so pressure must be applied for 30 sec, minimum. If patch rolls up at corners, less is being delivered. If patch is placed over previously used site within 6 days then it may absorb poorly. Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) stimulates Dopamine & norepinephrine more.
