Hi! I was on and off concerta for years as well. I felt it never helped me at all, which is why I was always on and off with it. Im a hothead to begin with (yay adhd), so I thought the concerta was suppose to help me. Instead I felt angry, would fly off the handle at the littlest things (even more so than usual), and I was never able to focus. My doctor asked me how concerta was working for me and I just told her flat out it wasn’t working, nothing was improving, I was still struggling, and I just wanted to feel like a normal human. She put me on adderall. Within a few days I noticed a huge difference and so did everyone around me. I was finally able to focus on simple everyday task and actually felt like I had control of my emotions for once in my life! I know adderall isn’t for everyone, but it worked for me!
I hope this helps! I know how frustrating it is!
