Mediknet felt like that for me, but I had good responses to Ritalin LP and Xaggatin (an off-brand Concerta, which was good despite Concerta not working well for me...)
I looked into it and Mediknet has a much shorter duration than other extended release methylphenidates. My experience was it started too strong, making me feel too racy, and then finished early leaving me exhausted. What made things better was eating breakfast first, and splitting the dose (take half after breakfast, and other half 3-4 hours later).
