I have tried 4 or 5 meds for ADHD and nothing seems to work, or help at all :(

I've just been raw dogging it for my whole life

Let's see if Vyvanse is the magic bullet.

Concerta is at least making me do the dishes some times, unlike any of the other meds. Might help you.

I am on another form of Methylphenidate (Medikinet CR) and it has not been great.

Thought I heard that the side effects tend to be better with Concerta than the one I'm on.

Apparently the official Concerta version has some trademarked time-release technology, so it's a series of small evenly-spaced doses.
I don't know what about it is trademarked but it makes it very hard to compete with.

I'll have to ask my doc about Concerta then, it's supposed to be available here but apparently pharmacies have a hard time sourcing it :/

It definitely has the least side effects out of any of them for me, which is why I settled for it. It might work for you too.
