Perhaps you might talk to your doctor about Ritalin SR (sustained release). There are less "peaks & valleys" associated with Ritalin SR.

Is that the same as Concerta? That's very expensive here in Holland.

Concerta is a different med (though also a stimulant med). Ritalin and Ritalin SR should probably be the least expensive of the ADD meds available.
