focalin xr vs concerta

I have a friend who uses Focalin XR and he is always complaining about this medicine. Then he started to use Concerta so I was thinking he would be happy now. However, he still complains about both of those. Can you tell me some information about Focalin XR vs Concerta, because now I do not know what to think? Which of those two drugs is proven as better, what is your opinion?

An interesting difference between Concerta and Focalin XR is that the time release is not effective the same way. If the capsule is opened with Concerta, it is not effective, while Focalin XR can be opened and sprinkled on food for children averse to swallowing pills. Rotalin LA also offers this ability as Concerta as both uses the SODAS drug delivery system. I also look forward to the results of focalin xr vs concerta head-to-head trials. Focalin XR will rejuvenate Novartis's ADHD franchise, nearly doubling current revenues, which is proven. Focalin XR is generally perceived to act in less than one hour and remain effective for over eight hours. This medicine is also effective in treating children and adolescents with ADHD with few adverse effects, opposite to Concerta. Despite the strong therapeutic profile of Focalin XR, it will face competition from numerous branded and generic extended-release stimulants in the near future, before Concerta will. Despite the strength of Focalin XR's therapeutic profile and marketing potential, it will be hindered by generic stimulants and novel ADHD drugs. Concerta was not proven to be such as effective as this other, so my opinion is that Focalin XR should be better for him.

ive recently been prescribed focalin xr 15 mg . At first it would help me focus and keep me motivated. Its been 2 weeks and ive found that it makes me extremely irritable and foggy. It also only lasts about 6 hours and then i become extremely depressed. Is it just the wrong doseage?.. or is it the medication itself.

I see you posted this 19 days ago i was wondering if your symtoms are any better?
i just started this medication the 15mg and i have the same symtoms, yet extreme insomnia and headaches and the symtoms you had.
ive also done the 10mg and the 20mg but they did the same.
Did you switch meds or did you just stick with it?
Advice? Thanksss
