i’ve recently started on focalin XR, and went from 10 mg, to 20 mg, to 40 mg, and i’ve even just tried taking 60 mg and it just…. doesn’t feel like it’s working like its supposed to. i can kind of focus better, but then i get bored or something in a bit and can’t focus anymore. i still fidget a bunch, but i guess not quite as much. it also like.. gives me the motivation to want to get something done but there’s still just this weird and completely frustrating mental block it feels like i have and i just can’t get myself to do the things i need to get done. it doesnt even really help my mood all that much either like people say it does. idk it definitely does something and helps a bit with my adhd, but i don’t feel like its enough.

has anyone else had this problem? is there a different stimulant that works better?

i’m pretty sure i’ve taken concerta before, a friend gave me some of hers to try a couple years ago and i remember it working WAY better than focalin is for me right now. i don’t know for sure though, honestly.
