I’ve been on Concerta 27mg (started at 18mg) for about 2 months now, and I’ll admit, I feel like I could be taking sugar pills. I’ve been told by my GP that I should just wait a little longer before upping the dosage, though I’m not even sure how much of an effect that might have.

I’m still unable to point my focus at anything, and my working memory is just as crap as ever. (Even tried to empirically measure how often I lose things… still at least once a day!)

Did you have an obvious lightbulb moment of some feeling, after starting meds?

It took six months of adjusting medication to get to a dosage and medication that worked. Although, my doctor said that the amphetamine class of drugs were the only ones that really work; be it Adderall or Ritalin class of drugs. I was unable to take adderall and Ritalin has been near impossible to get, but vyvanse works great once I got on a high enough dosage. 60mg once daily. It’s about 2.5 hours from swallowing to full affect in me.
