After taking Ritalin 20mg 2 or 3xday for about 7 years, I wanted to try Concerta because I got terrible "nap attacks" as the Ritalin wore off. I tried Concerta 52mg every morning for about 8 weeks. It was ok...
I tried Provigil and it was very agitating. I also felt "sparkly" which wasn't really pleasant.
My pdoc then said I could take my pick of either Adderal or dexedrine to try next. I have been taking Adderal 20mg 2 or 3xday for 3 months and it is great. I find that I need the immediate kick-in of a fast acting stimulant to get me started on the right foot each day. Also the Adderal crash is much smoother than Ritalin and I don't crave a nap everyday.
