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?

    Thanks everyone for your feedback, it’s been a real eye opener. Day one gone of the double dose now, and I can only say it felt like I drank lots of coffee. (I only drink decaf, for anxiety and jaw grinding reasons.)

    However, I had energy, I got ZERO work done today. :-(

    I was hoping it would help, but it just stimulated my thoughts and curiosities even more. So I just browsed and read all day. Still jumping from random task to random task, not staying in one place.

    Maybe it is just a bad habit / lack of drive / no willpower / lack of self discipline issue. :-(
