Hi @tom1
It’s good to share your personal experiences with medication. Even though it is just one person’s experience, it can be very helpful to others. I started my own thread about my experience with Vyvanse awhile ago. And then forgot about it, of course. One thing I can say for sure is that my memory is not improving much.
But I don’t want to get off topic.
I have never taken Concerta and only used Ritalin for a short period of time years ago. But from what I understand, Concerta does have a more slow, subtle effect than Ritalin. It won’t give you that instant “on” feeling, like flipping a switch. Which means you have to motivate yourself more. If you can get started on a task, then it will help you to focus. But you have to get started first, which can be a problem for a lot of people. That is where the more “inastant effect” from Ritalin might be helpful.
