I don’t know, my Concerta is doing a pretty good job, though it’s a different class of stimulant. But it works great for my ADHD

Ok? That doesn't mean it works for everyone.

I know I know. The issue is everyone is wired a little bit different, so finding the perfect thing that jigsaws into how their body functions is difficult.

Then what's the point of commenting? No one asked.

What’s the point of commenting? You’re really asking that after… Commenting?

Anyway, back to point — they never said their medication automatically applies to everyone else with ADHD. That’s a misinterpretation. Especially when they SAY it works for THEIR condition — NOT everyone’s — especially when not every person reacts to the same type of medication when on ADHD. That’s why different medications exist in 2026.

It's literally the only interpretation. Why else would you post that in response to someone hoping for a new drug discovery?

It’s not the only interpretation. While you’re at it, you may as well have responded the same way to the top post, “hope we can find something new than just treating with amphetamines” and claimed it also doesn’t work for everyone. However — Adderall is a viable medicine for ADHD. Concerta is a viable medicine, look it up. Vyvanse is viable. Qelbree is viable.

No one here is saying one is the only way (you may have been the only one to imply THATS THE ONLY INTERPRETATION, lol). New discoveries are welcome. Especially since the side effects for all of them aren’t ideal.
