QuestionAnyone else feel more motivated on Concerta but more stable on Vyvanse?
Concerta gave me a lot of energy and motivation but made me extremely unstable and depressed after the effect wore off. Vyvanse gives me emotional stability, also working really well for my ADHD symptoms, but I miss the motivation to do things that concerta gave me.
Did you have a similar experience with both? I hope I can get a booster to use as needed with Vyvanse when I really want to do something that's boring.

I switched to Concerta 72 mg from Vyvanse 70 mg. Vyvanse seemed a lil better at managing my ADHD however I built up tolerance. Vyvanse seems to be a little gentler to body overall, but doesn’t seem to give me as much of a “performance” boost as Concerta.
For me Concerta is smoother, I don't crash, and it seems to last longer. With Vyvanse I could definitely tell it was working but I'd feel stimmed up a bit. Concerta just seems to make me operate like a normal person.
