Has Concerta worked for anyone ?

My son is on Concerta 36mg and it seems to help him concentrate - the real test will be this week because he is going back to school. He have AuDHD. I am on Medikinet 20mg and Ritaline LI for afternoons. I have a combined ADHD. My daughter (what a fam…) is on Ritaline LM 20mg but it seems to be not sufficient. She have ADD.

Adderall is both available in my country, and there is no alternative with the exact same substances. The closest (I think) is Attentin, but it only contains one of two substances in Adderall.

No. Had max dose concerta + ritalin boost. Switched to elvanse/vyvanse a couple of days ago, and even on 30 mg I feel like it helps me more. I have inattentive ADHD with autistic traits though, and "ADD" as it's still most commonly called where I live, can be harder to medicate than combined ADHD. My sister (combined) takes concerta and is very happy with it.

but if you’re gonna use it adderall worked the best for me!

it’s about having self control and making yourself do important things it’s called adulting and people did it for 1000’s of years before amphetamine was the ADHD cure all!

just the way it is!

my dopamine is dope!

I tried Ritalin, Medikinet and Concerta. They all make my hearth beat crazy and Concerta's withdrawal turned into a horrible situation. Plus, I haven't experienced expected outcomes from them. Consequence, I don't use any ADHD meds anymore (I have 2 antidepressants for my depression and Dideral for my anxiety though).

i hate all ADHD meds i stopped taking them at 16 and just learned self control little by little, i still get distracted i’m still not good about follow throw but i’m not dimming or dumbing down for anyone! Jesus made me this way for a reason i’m slowly learning more and more why

I took it years ago for about 5 years until then doc swapped to something stronger. Its basically Ritalin in a time released dose.

I started with Medikinet (same ingredient) on May 1st this year. Started with 10mg and felt nothing, went up slowly and at 60mg I thought it might have some effect but not phenomenal in any way. The last two days I tried 80mg, but it didn’t feel any different. I have asked my doctor and I actually should feel a big difference from no medication to medication. The plan is to take the 80mg for 5 days and then we see where we are. Luckily I have absolutely no negative reactions to the medication, but I’m kinda underwhelmed by the positive effects. Did this happen to anyone else? If so, did anything help you better? I’m in Germany so the only options we have are Methylphenidate and Lisdexamfetamin (Elvanse/Vyvanse) - Adderall is not available 🤷🏼‍♂️

Personally, I don't like what it does to my organism. Yes, I can sit still, but I am still distracted.
