This was added to my mix of drugs to combat excessive daytime sleepiness (side effect of other drugs) & help me to focus. I had "foggy" thinking without this. Usually used for ADD, ADHD, but have heard from my provider that it is found to be useful in treating bipolar.

Pros: better focusing and less hyper
Cons: major weight loss, bipolarity

I took it 2 years ago. It did help me with my ADD but it increased my bipolarity. At the start of taking it, I weighed around 99 pounds. By the time my doctor took me off, I was 87. I was 4'9"

Pros: stimulant, helps focus
Cons: stimulant

I like concerta. It helps me focus and it helps shield my ADHD but if you take it too late in the morning, the stimulant effects will make it harder for you to fall asleep at night.

Pros: works
Cons:

I take Concerta because when I'm depressed I can't do anything but sit. This helps me get going.
