This is just my own experience with stimulants and the
"atypical meds" that have mild stim effectno anxiety with any stim
no direct weight loss but indirectly more gym time means
smaller belly
no racing thoughts, racing heart, paranoiaConcerta:
really helps with attention
at times / high dose (72mg or above) get excessive hyperfocus
smooth easy as it wears off
feels "normal"
reliableAdderal XR (30mg):
less effective with attention
better quality of focus
sent my bloodpressure sky high
less smooth as it wears off
interferes with sleep
makes me talk too much
effectiveness is inconsistent
makes me sweatyDexedrine XR:
same as Adderall but smoother
clearer, smarter concentration
makes me sad/tired if I use when I am tired/sad
less of a BP effectFocalin/Ritalin
grouchy/bad tempered
felt like I was "taking drugs"Metadate CD
faster acting than Concerta
noticeable two peak concentration effectAdrafinil
stops afternoon sleepiness
no effect on concentration/focus
hives if I take each dayWellbutrin

increased libido
