Interested primarily in hearing from people who’ve tried more than one type of ADHD Zmedication, to compare their experience under each one. Also interested in people who just know what various different med types are targetting.

I’m in titration for medikinet’s Methylphenidate Hydrochloride and it doesn’t seem so effective. Very little difference to how i behave on it versus off of it, it does heighten my sense of fun and make me focus in videogames for longer though. It does make talking to people and masking a lot easier, however. I’m wondering if i should ask to switch to another one.

    Most difference for all of them I’ve noticed after I’ve stopped taking them, suddenly realizing that though while taking them it felt like they only helped a tiny bit, it was actually noticeably harder to do things without them.

    I’m considering just going med-less for this reason. There were times in my life without medication when i was perfectly productive, e.g in teenagehood, and shortly before i started titration i feel like i got well into my productivity groove because i started implementing systems for keeping myself in check. Exactly like you say here, the meds feel like a small difference at the time and a big difference later - i don’t want to convince myself that i need them to function at work.

    Thank you for sharing these details
