I've tried Ritalin, Focalin, Dexedrine, Adderall and Vyvanse.
I like Focalin better than Ritalin. It seems smoother and doesn't produce a precipitous letdown. If for some reason I were to go back to it, I would try the Focalin XR version. Actually, I might use it to help ease Parnate withdrawal, which is mostly fatigue for me.
For me, caffeine works better than all of the above, but I can't use it every day or else tolerance develops. Caffeine is pretty cool. It doesn't work at monoamine synapses. Instead, it is an adenosine receptor blocker. Adenosine works to modulate neural activity. It normally reduces it and brings on sleepiness. Blocking the receptor disinhibits this braking mechanism and causes increases in alertness and concentration.
