Hi everyone, Years ago I was on a Ritalin generic, and it ended up just being like strapping a jet engine to a bicycle: couldn't focus at all.

And now I'm trying it again, but I'm on Concerta. Was on a starter dose, didn't feel anything, now I'm on double that dose from today, waiting to see if I can feel anything.

How do you know if it's working?

Wierd... Ritalin for me feels like almost nothing at all. I am just able to concentrate on tasks better and able to motivate myself to do things.

I drink 4+ teas per day because apparently I still need the caffeine.

I'm going to try a different med, and see if that helps me more, I still struggle with a lot.
