A member asked:
Focalin (dexmethylphenidate) was my new med prescribed in stead of ritalin. will i feel anything different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Focalin (dexmethylphenidate): Focalin (dexmethylphenidate) is another formulation of ritalin, worth a try if Ritalin at therapeutic dose was not effective.
