MODERATORS
I am on the extended release (ER) for methylphenidate on a high dose for like 20 years and for me it lets me focus while it is working.
Sustained release (SR) does not work nearly as well for me. Standard release wears off way too fast.
People have very different rates of success or side effects so yes, it really could be that different! It sounds like this isn't the right one for your kiddo.
