Hi.
Adderall (amphetamine) versus Concerta (methylphenidate)
I'm sure you already know that the two drugs work via different mechanisms. Amphetamines like Adderall are predominantly neurotransmitter releasers while Ritalin and Concerta are neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitors. There is Focalin - another version of methylphenidate that some people find more tolerable (smoother).
I think it is worth for you to extend your trial of Concerta for a few more days in order to see if the "speed" feeling disappears. If you just can't get either of the two types of psychostimulants (amphetamine and methylphenidate) to work for you, I think Strattera (atomoxetine) is worth considering.
I am optimistic for you that you will find one of these drugs to work.
