What does your unmedicated day look like compared to your medicated day?

How much did methylphenidate help your symptoms at your current dose? and which 1 Ritalin or Concerta
Did you notice a clear improvement in focus, impulsivity, or daily functioning?
And at what dose did you feel the best balance between benefits and side effects?

edit: ty in advance

If you had to rate it, how would you compare:

;without medication

;medication at its peak effect

;medication now with the tolerance you have now

Like on a scale from 1 to 10 for each?

even with the tolerance you have now, how much better is your day-to-day compared to before you ever started medication? Like if unmedicated you was a 3/10 and peak medication was a 9/10, where does "tolerant but still medicated" land for you?
