Yes, I have had good experiences with methylphenidate (Ritalin) as well. One thing I noticed is that on adderall I stopped yawning completely. On Ritalin, my body is actually able to signal to me when I'm tired, hungry, etc. The problem is that I had to take ever larger amounts of caffeine to compensate.
I just know that I don't want to be taking adderall when I'm 40.
- eru 6y agoYes. I had similar reaction: I was very relieved that I could take a nap on Ritalin. That never worked on dexamphetamine. Though I also heard from some other people for whom Ritalin has intolerable side effects, but Adderall works. Honestly for me, if methylphenidate wasn't available, I'd go with nicotine patches and perhaps modafinil instead of dexamphetamine. Thanks to billions of smokers we a have pretty good idea of the long term effects of nicotine. Eg we know that it protects against parkinsons. (And there are some indications that Parkinsons and ADHD are linked.)
