Darkeyes, have you tried Ritalin? Can you compare it to Concerta?

I just tried Ritalin, which wasn't a success, and am now trying Adderall. My doctor, though, would like me to try Concerta, which I am reluctant to do because of the Ritalin trial. (The Adderall puts me to sleep, though. NOT the intended result.)

So, I have the prescription for Concerta, and am not impressed by the Adderall, but I'm still scared to try the Concerta. I'd actually rather try Dexedrine, or even Strattera.

Any comments you can make? Thanks!
