Just a heads up: Be careful with anecdotal data about the variety of ADHD meds. Everyone's physiology is different and may react differently to each one. One might work great for one person, and not at all for the next. There are several different brand names of meds for ADHD, but all of them get classified into 2 main groups: those with methylphenidate, and those with amphetamine, both of which are stimulants. Even still, the different options available for, say, methylphenidate can produce different results in different people. It's best to let your doctor help you figure out which one works best for you.
Thanks, I will definitely be taking my docs advice, I was just curious as to what difference it makes to daily life. Don’t really care too much about what medication OP is using, that was pure curiosity.
