Methylphenidate acts more as a DA uptake inhibitor whereas amphetamines in it's varying forms acts to release HT,NE and DA in differing amounts.
As far as effect is conerned, it is as with anything psychiatric, highly individual. For some, adderall is a wonder drug, for others such as myself,it makes me paranoid and anxious at any dose level. I do much better from methylphenidate which gives me a calm and intense focus. I have had both prescribed to me and strongly favored the methyphenidate but in the end found both to exacerbate my drepessive state. Now I stick to caffeine which gives me almost *zero* anxiety even at dose levels upwards 2 grams daily.
Good luck
