[QUOTE="buddy, post: 590146, member: 12886"] Quin did do another dose for years, BUT, they timed it for when dose one starts to reduce....at about six hours, so he took the 2nd dose at school, plus it was a small dose comparatively speaking. He took it at one o'clock. So it was worn down by nine for him. As I said, for him, it didn't affect hunger....he eats better because he can sit down and attend to the meal, lol. He also can take even ritalin, and fall asleep, so he is not typical that way. But one day..like a Friday...of trying a low dose Concerta six hours after the first dose could be something to try...(the psychiatrist who did that worked at mayo on research about bioavailabiliy etc....it all made sense at the time and it worked) Just increasing it will not extend the time it is effective as I understand it. The medication is more equal in how it is in the blood than taking short acting ritalin ....but it is not totally even....it is only 30% ish at the beginning and end....there are other long acting forms like a patch and others...so you can ask about that too.
