Metadate is : Made to last about 12 hours in your body. It is taken once each morning to help people focus for one day. But why do you ask? People are differnt and for some it may last longer or shorter. It would be best for you to find a psaychiatrist locally to answer these questions in more detail.

Short acting: In clinical experience, metadate never exhibits effectiveness beyond 4-6 hours. Methylphenidate has a very short half life. About 90 minutes. The prolonged duration mechanism in metadate prolongs the duration a bit. But two doses are usually necessary to cover an entire day. Check with your prescribing doctor for titration of your medication.
