The only stimulants I've taken are caffeine, ephedrine, and now adderall, and cocaine once but I'd never take that again anyways. The adderall is definitely more smooth than the ephedrine. I'm not a big fan of ephedrine personally. I can't focus on it.
I have not tried Concerta. I might suggest to my pdoc next time to try dexedrine though if it is cheaper. We'll see. I find the stimulating qualities of adderall overall better than caffeine, most notably from the longer half life. It seems to offer more motivation it seems as well, and perhaps better focus too.
The Adderall doesn't seem to make me anxious either, although I haven't had too much of a problem with that in the past. A little social anxiety I've had but nothing too debilitating. If anything the Adderall may make me more socially adept. I'm still feeling it out though. I haven't been out in public much while on it in the last few days. I definitely feel more chatty, and perhaps more social confidence as well. We'll see.
