Is there a difference between Ritalin SA and Ritalin LA?

I have been on Ritalin for over 10 years. I take 20mg 3 times daily. I have also taken Trazadone, Seraquel, and Melatonin for sleep. The reason your feeling jumpy after lunch is because your body is becoming acclaimated to have this stimulant in your system. I am assuming that your body is craving the Ritalin. It is basically legalized speed. It stimulates the central nervous system so once it wears off your body tends to feel tired, edgy, irritable, and sometimes even lathargic. Think twice about continuing Ritatlin. For that matter any other of these medications. Once you've been on most of these medications they alter the chemical makeup of your brain. Once that happens usually there is no reversing this.
Just concerned. Thank you. This is my opinion only. I'm not a certified medical physcian, but I am 38 years old and these "Doctors" have been prescribing me all types of medications with over 100 diagnosis since the age of 14. I was told I was too emotional. Again, these are just my thoughts.
Thanks for reading.

I hate to think of what all these drugs must be doing to your health. The longer you stay on them the more damage to your heart,liver,kidneys and possible brain damage. Have you read "The ADHD Fraud :HOw psychiatry makes patients of normal children by FRed Baughman MD and neurologist ?
People have died suddenly whilst on stimulants. They are dangerous and addictive though the drug companies promote them like smarties. Go to www.ritalindeath.com
