just a follow-up to waiting for that “wow” effect – I was waiting for that too and tried a bunch of different meds expecting one of them would give me this . Like in that movie about the guy that starts to take a drug and suddenly he’s finished a novel and becomes a whiz at business – Limitless I think is the name?
However, now I find it is kind of a subtle thing. A couple of months ago I switched to Concerta, the only one that really didn’t work for me. The first 2 weeks seemed ok then all of sudden realized I was becoming quite anxious and couldn’t sleep. Decided to wait out the effects and see what would happen. Ultimately realized not only was I experiencing the side effects but it really did nothing for me just slightly elevate my level of focus better than without. My productivity got back to the way I used to be – loads of procrastination etc. So got a RX for ritalin ( I had tried the generic already) and it seems to be doing the trick. I think I’ll be happy with an improvement as long as I don’t have any unwanted side effects.
And survivor05, my husband thinks it’s all bunk and a “fad syndrome” but, like you I’m trying to get it together in my 40’s so the next 40 will be better!
