Methylphenidate (Concerta) is predominantly a catecholamine (NE, DA) reuptake inhibitor whereas amphetamine is more of a releaser. I don't know if one can predict in advance which of the two drugs will provide the most benefit against fatigue. Methylphenidate has been used successfully to treat various types of fatigue states including those evident in cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome. Personally, I found amphetamine (Dexedrine) to be "smoother" than methylphenidate (Ritalin). I thought methylphenidate produced some irritability. That's just me, though.
