Concerta folks: when you started the initial dosage, did you experience noticeable improvement soon (less than 1 week)? Later? Only with stronger dosage? Never?

Never got better on Concerta. I moved onto Elvanse and it’s been great for over a year now.

I recently switched to Vyvanse and have had really great results. It did take a few weeks to safely increase up to the right dosage for me but now feel the effects kick in about 1-2 hours later and def a noticeable improvement

My experience is that if the affects are not noticeable with a few days you may have to adjust the dosage. Speak with you doctor he can advise you.

For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis. I went to my primary care dr who referred me to another dr who specialized in mental health. He asked me about 5 questions before telling me I should see a neuropsychologist for an official assessment. The referral he gave me is super pricey and apparently isn’t covered by insurance. Is that normal?

Can anyone relate? If I’m stressed out, I can’t focus on my tasks because my productivity is driven by creative and explorative thought.

And then there’s the whole dopamine addiction issue with doing a small amount of work then hopping on social media because you feel like you need the reward. Just me?
