Concerta is timed-release Ritalin, so it’s also an amphetamine. Which makes it all the more weird! No elevated heart rate (as far as I can tell), no anxiety, no euphoria, nothing you’d expect from stimulants.
Ritalin/Concerta (methylphenidate) are not classified as amphetamines, but they are still central nervous system stimulants. Good to hear concerta is not causing any anxiety/heart rate issues for you though!
Ah I was thinking of another one I guess. I'm not really sure. I take Vyvanse, highly recommend fwiw
