Hi. I am new to these boards and to ADD (adult). I was just diagnosed and put on Ritalin LA 20mg once a day. So far all I notice is the ability to focus for a short time in the morning and then nothing.... or it seems more like I zone out and can not get re-focused. I have only been taking this for a week, which I know is a short time, but I was hoping for better results. Has anyone had this type of result with Ritalin LA? An advice is appreciated!!!!

Thanks addprogrammer. I called my doc this morning, she does specialize in ADD which is why I went to her. She did increase my dose for the next week to see if that helps. I guess time will tell. I have read a lot about people having great luck with Adderall, have you ever taken Adderall? Thanks again.

P.S. In my subject line I meant to say Ritalin LA NOT working, not NOW working, oops.
