Second day with 32mg concerta. Feels like a clean coffee, nothing else really. First day was good, first day reduced distractions a lot more, helped me focus (but not for *that* long). Today it's like... not really doing much.

No side effects. Benefits are minimal.


Eh I think it's more of a placebo effect, but I still take it.

If I don't take it for studying, I feel like I don't accomplish as much.

I also use it with coffee, so yolo LOL

Gunna see if I can try 52mg, or if doc will recommend I take two 32mg to see if that helps (but that's 72mg, 20 higher than a 52mg pill). Problem is I'm not covered by medical, so buying 30 more at 52mg isn't cheap at all.

I never used my medical when I was in regular university (pre-graduate). Or in high school. Other than for dental. Now I'm off medical and shit it's expensive to try this and that to find the right thing for me.

Just want to figure out if the amphetamine or the methylphenidate side is what works better. Then I hear there's vyvanse, and some other things, and idk, thought there was just two sides: amphetamine or methylphenidate

Honestly, I haven't looked into this too much, but the little bit I know from my bio degree and taking neuroscience, I'm terrified of anything remotely close to Adderall.

I've watched people accomplish a whole semester of material in a couple days on it and do well on a final, but it's not worth it to me with what it does to you over time.

I think I take 18 mg of methylphenidate and that's fine for me.

Just be careful with whatever you decide to do.

Odds are good that you haven't even developed a constant therapeutic concentration in your blood after 2 days. You won't see the full effects of the drug until after maybe 5. Just like with creatine, there is a "loading period " with any chronic drug

It's bc they can't focus not bc they can't handle the course/workload I promise

I specifically didn't seek out help because of:
- avoidance of going to the doctor
- stubbornness
- doing things on your own if you can builds up grit and ethic

However, I didn't build up certain work ethic. And once I finished my English Major / History Minor I got into a grad program. I finished that grad program (1 year), but the line of work wasn't for me (education field). So then I went to business. Finished my first semester without any medical help, but with about a 68% average. Could've easily done better if I could've concentrated. I'd force myself through my work, loved the work, but it was difficult sitting and focusing.

Now I'm in second semester, had difficulties approaching my work. Following through on what I knew how to do has always been difficult. Sitting and focusing on a sentence, very difficult. All my life, difficult.

So now I tried methylphenidate. It's just okay. So now I'm trying to figure it all out.

Hope so :) Still going at it one dose a day, similar timing.
