Yea I understand, I'm glad it worked for you. In my case we tried a handful of types in my childhood, Adderall and ridalin (I might be misremembering the names but I think those were it) would put me into a living coma where I just didn't talk to anyone, Concerta was the one that we settled on, but the dosage was still quite high for it to actually do anything for me (I was on 54 mg for perspective which is apparently on the higher end, 72 mg is the max dose they can do and generally start at 18 mg). I probably could look into swapping around again but, for the most part caffeine works well enough for me, plus I don't really want to have an ongoing prescription again after being off it this long
