Ritalin and Concerta are forms of d,l-methylphenidate. Focalin is d-methylphenidate. Different isomeres of the same compound, but what does this really tell us? Either one might be the perfect stimulant for somebody, but the only way to find out is a trial. And the nice thing about stimulant trials is that you can get an idea about benefits/side effects relatively quickly.
As for me, this morning I asked my pdoc to agree to a trial of Adrafinil, a chemical cousin of Modafinil.
Good luck to you.
