Is the plan to move to amphetamines if this doesn't work? Because concerta and the non-amphetamine drugs have very low success rates as far as I know. With amphetamines it's basically immediate
Concerta is timed-release Ritalin, so it’s also an amphetamine. Which makes it all the more weird! No elevated heart rate (as far as I can tell), no anxiety, no euphoria, nothing you’d expect from stimulants.
Ritalin/Concerta (methylphenidate) are not classified as amphetamines, but they are still central nervous system stimulants. Good to hear concerta is not causing any anxiety/heart rate issues for you though!
