Hi Tiddler – I went through a phase once I’d been on methylphenidate (MPH) for a while, of thinking I should try methamphetamine instead. But I read that it’s a bit harsher than MPH in terms of cell toxicity but not sure of the facts.
Anyway, I tweaked the MPH instead and I think we have an understanding now. On balance, I think I’m happy with it but it’s never going to make me perfect! 
AbbyNormal really brought up the blood sugar thing. But I found that somehow eating properly is more important when taking MPH. I feel better for it so there is something in that.
How about talking a short acting MPH when your Concerta kicks out?
Try the purple grapes from M&S – better than chocolate! Yummy. (Well…not quite but almost!)
