Concerta day 2 - I think it works

Took the 2 pills of Concerta 36 MG at 8 AM.
It's suppose to kick in after about 2 hours , seems that I get it around 1.5 hours. Maybe not, the effect is so subtle that I cannot accurately pinpoint the exact time. On Ritalin LA I was able to tell the exact minute I felt it. (on 60 mg not on 40 mg)

Anyway I am productive and I don't feel the drugs presence on its own. I just observe the effect.
I do get itchy here and there. Yesterday it was because I was sitting still for hours but now its the beginning of the day and I feel some irritating itches in my legs.




Anyway I already done some good work in the past 50 minutes WHILE watching like 5 YouTube videos too. Now that's how I like it.

Another thought - the 60 mg of Ritalin LA made me feel a bit high. I described it as presence but now when I think about it, I might describe it as "High". Just a bit. (I have no reference for what it feels to be high on recreational drugs, I don't event drink enough alcohol to be drunk) Also I had like a panic about the end of the day because I felt the ADHD taking over and something slipping away. Then I was anxious to get to the next morning and feel productive again. Cannot conclude that it is the meds or just me getting exited about treating problems that I had for so long.

I will have to see how Concerta feels and acts for more time.
Hopefully this will be it and I would not have to try new things (the uncertainty makes me feel kinda bad)

Another observation - I haven't lost my appetite but on meds (all types) I'm able to keep better discipline in that regard. Even on first day or evening when the meds vent off.


Afternoon I stumbled on a youtube video and kept watching the channel for 4.5 hours straight. The negative side of ADHD meds is - you are focused on whatever you are doing. I was hoping that I would be able to prioritize better but seems that this process is not related to ability to focus.
Seems that I need to think of a way to switch focus to proper channels or at least break the loop while i'm at it. Because I was well aware that i"m doing the wrong thing at the time
