So I recently got my diagnosis and a RitalinLA prescription. I started with 10mg and am now on 20mg. The problem is, that I don't feel any difference. I don't take it on weekends, so I have regular references, but everything is still the same. For reference I'm an early twenties male. Did anyone have similar experiences and if so, was it just a dosage issue? Because I feel like there should be some effect at least.

Okay so I got diagnosed as a kid and ended up stopping my meds in my teens so I'm not very reliable but..

I remember not feeling actively different, but it was a lot more noticable on the days I didn't take it, and more so to the people around me.

This is how I experience it too, and I'm in my 40s. If I don't take it during the week, I burn out so easily.
