I have tried 4 or 5 meds for ADHD and nothing seems to work, or help at all :(

I've just been raw dogging it for my whole life

Let's see if Vyvanse is the magic bullet.

Well there's your problem. You only need 1 medicine. If you eat more than they fight each other in your system and don't work because they die in battle. 4 or 5 is like a world War.

They likely tried them one after the other... Makes more sense before you assume they just down 4 different meds at the same time. Still possible of course.

I tried one after the other. Tried to give each of them a fair shot, using each for 30 or 60 days.

Concerta is at least making me do the dishes some times, unlike any of the other meds. Might help you.

I am on another form of Methylphenidate (Medikinet CR) and it has not been great.

Thought I heard that the side effects tend to be better with Concerta than the one I'm on.

Apparently the official Concerta version has some trademarked time-release technology, so it's a series of small evenly-spaced doses.
I don't know what about it is trademarked but it makes it very hard to compete with.
