I've been on Adderall(36mg XR+15mg SR) since I was dx'd about four months ago. I found it OK, but latterly, other than an 'awake' feeling, I didn't feel I was getting any benefits out of it. When my hair started falling out, My Doc decided it would be best to switch to Concerta.
I started a couple of weeks ago on 54mg, but to be honest, I don't feel any effects. With Adderall, I could feel it kick in and wear off, but with Concerta, nothing. I'm out of my routine at the moment, so I'm unable to say for certain if it helps with my ADD symptoms. I'm still procrastinating and unable to properly manage my time in a big way, but not any worse than when I was on Adderall.
Do I need a stronger dose, or is Concerta not right for me? Should I try something other than stimulants altogether? Wellbutrin or Strattera maybe?
