At the time, yes I would have continued Adderall. It seemed to produce less of the hyperfocus / train track thinking I had noticed with Concerta. The biggest disadvantage of teh amphetamines fo rmeis th t there effectiveness seems to vary widely. Methylphenidate seems much more consistent ibn it's effects.I'd love to see a good comparative study of Adderall, Concerta, Focalin and Provigil, as well as some research on the effects of the "nootropics" like huperzine, picamilon, aniracetam, vipocitaine, acetylcholine, fish oil. Right now doing well with Focalin XR.
