If you want that distinct stimulation spike, is Ritalin LA distinctly inferior?

Best I can tell, Ritalin LA for adults is primarily to reduce its recreational use?

I've never tried LA, I only ask as Ritalin IR is licenced only to 40 mg, where LA is licenced to 80 mg.

Technically they both deliver the same amount of the active drug, but LA seems to be thought of as weaker.

My primary use of it is to improve energy/concentration. IR can feel rather wonderful at a significant enough dose but obviously those effects are short lived so multiple dosing is required for sustained daily effects.
