I also notice the concerta (I use the generic version which doesn’t last quite as long) wearing off around 5 pm if I take it around 8 or 9 in the morning. I’ve heard of people being prescribed some short-acting Ritalin to use when the concerta wears off. This might be an option for you, or me for that matter. But yeah… I’d hate to be going back to being tired, distracted, and disorganized near the end of the workday.

I’ve read that there are alternate meds and delivery methods though… Strattera is a non-stimulant which stays in your body for days or weeks (which is nice considering there’s no ‘crash’, but I’d worry it would keep me up at night). Adderall comes as a long acting time release formula, and another med actually comes as a patch (just like a nicotine patch). Like my doctor said to me, “there are plenty of meds and formulas out there, so chances are something will work!”
