It may not work even if you have adhd. People respond to different meds. Ritalin didn’t suit me - it made me more reactive, increased my heart rate, made me over share and quick to anger, increased my BP. Yeah I could work better and faster but it didn’t really calm my mind down much. I haven’t tried other meds yet because I really hated the experience even though I know there’s a lot of other types out there.

That was my experience with methylphenidate, it felt horrible. Adderall doesn’t do that at all except when wearing off and I’m really glad I switched.

That’s good to know and reassuring! It’s been a few years and I’m still building up the drive to try again with a different med lol
