I'm on a slightly higher dose of Concerta now, & it does seem to be helping with my problem where I get nothing done at work. So that's probably good.

It's not a huge change but I certainly felt it wear off more dramatically last night. Which isn't all bad. It's just a little weird to have a point in the evening where your brain suddenly switches what it even means to focus on something.

Suddenly last night I had several trains of thought going instead of one.

@artemis i don't know if it would help, but might be worth a try. i recently added 500mg l-tyrosine to my morning meds and it really helped smooth out the come on / roll off of my stimulant meds.

Interesting. Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that!

@artemis my doc suggested it and i tried it, if only to rule it out, but found it was surprisingly helpful. i don't understand the pharmacodynamics very well, but it seems to make sense that taking a dopamine precursor in conjunction with a dopamine reuptake inhibitor would have synergistic effects.
