I mean, focus is focus no matter how you use it.

For anyone who wants to consider Adderall or Concerta, please do yourself a favor and look into Vyvanse. No crash, no jitters, much smoother delivery - at least for me.

I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone has about (any) stimulants.

Interesting. I was under the impression that Vyvanse was a more classic amphetamine than Adderall. Apparently I was wrong.

One issue with Concerta is that the name brand and the main generic (there are two different generics) use a different release timing mechanism. I'm shocked that the FDA allows these to be marketed as the same drug. The generic results in a much more "wired" feeling, at least for me.
