I haven't taken anything produced by Ranbaxy. The only thing that I can say about Shire vs. Barr is that the Shire stuff felt "cleaner". With all of the stimulants, I experienced a period of very inconsistent effects. One day a dose would seem great and the next it would be hardly noticible. My pdoc just kept increasing the dose until it leveled out. For me that was at 120mgs a day. I started out at five mgs a day and rapidly progressed to 100mgs. Two of the biggest aids in getting a uniform response were diet and schedule. I ate frequent little meals at the same time every day and took the meds at the same time every day. For me, blood sugar swings made it very hard to tell if the med was effective or not, so I avoided fast sugars and tried to maintain a fairly constant glucose level. Oh yeah, water. Same deal. Drank water on a schedule just like meals. Kept my urine clear. Being dehydrated had similar effects to skipping meals.I can't say if my experience is typical, but I have consistently found that if I start eating like crap or skipping meals, things start going downhill. I hope this is of some help.
