Hi everyone, Years ago I was on a Ritalin generic, and it ended up just being like strapping a jet engine to a bicycle: couldn’t focus at all.
And now I’m trying it again, but I’m on Concerta. Was on a starter dose, didn’t feel anything, now I’m on double that dose from today, waiting to see if I can feel anything.
How do you know if it’s working?

Here’s a quick test that I do: look through my contacts for someone with a phone number that I don’t know. Read their number and then immediately try to write it down from memory, without looking at it again. If I can do it, I know my meds are working.
Wtf can normal people do that? I’d need to look the phone number at least 5 times
I know. Crazy isn’t it.
