Thanks for the heads up. Is there any advantage to the patch other than not having to swallow a pill and being able to pull off the patch and stop the effects in 3 hours?

Hi

It's supposed to provide a controlled release of methylphenidate across the day - a bit like the controlled release tablets.

With transdermal applications, does the substance still pass through the liver? If it does, then nevermind. If it does not, it could be another benefit of the patch. Or it may pass through only one time instead of twice, or have some other benefit.

I must say too that I find the web-link/advertisement quite funny! Anyone download the screensaver?
