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.

I'm on methyl whatever and I too don't find it to be terribly useful. I don't even find it makes masking any easier.

I've really struggled to get this across to my psychiatrist because i said it didn't help my productivity (which is essentially the only reason why i wanted it) and he instead honed in on the fact it helped my social skills. I didn't know that was possible to achieve from drugs.
