I feel responses to stimulants are very individualized. You may respond well to a med which does little for me, for instance.
That said, I get a better response from Adderall. That said, I've just viewed a stimulant documentary on Netflix and the Adderall effects talked about in this documentary are foreign to me.
It is common practice for a doctor to prescribe Ritalin first and move on from there if Ritalin does not work.
