Methylphenidate doesn't help a whole lot, I still have little control over what I hyperfocus on. It's better then nothing though.

I should try Elvanse (Vyanse), maybe that's more useful. Need to actually get it prescribed first though.

I mean for me both works (Ritalin just is a lot shorter and more up and downs, generally less effective).

Though, I'm indeed prescribed Elvanse it's basically the hyperfocus drug IME (YMMV).

I'm really productive with it (I'm a passionate programmer, which probably helps), but sometimes well a little bit too productive (burning through complex problems for > 10 hours the day, sometimes completely ignoring other stuff I should be doing as well, and am somewhat exhausted after somehow escaping that hyperfocus, or finishing the issue). As I got "smarter" through it and like a learn a lot, I'll just accept this as a net-positive effect, I have to deal with.

But I have more control over what I'm hyperfocusing at (as I'm less likely bored and distacted), and try to "focus" this on issues that deserve this hyperfocus.
