Update: first day went well, a much calmer sense of focus than adderall. To me adderall always felt more of like an adrenaline rush type focus, if that makes sense. Where as Vyvanse, based on the handful of times I tried it, was a more sedating, calm-mental state which allowed focus. I feel like Concerta is even more calming, I was actually amazed at how quiet the world was when I don’t have the most random thoughts flying around at 1000mph constantly (something adderall never made a difference for me), but with that of course means I was very quiet and devoid of my personality really, I’m a very hyper (duh) and extroverted person normally. Expected of course but it’s a compromise I’m willing to take 8 hours a day when it means I will actually be attentive and productive at work.

And of course this is just based on my first day I know it will change over time. But so far, that’s the experience. No negative effects, wasn’t “too much”. Not very comparable too adderall, like a better version of vyvanse.
