I think Focalin XR (dexmethylphenidate) should be on your list of things to try. It is a "purified" form of methylphenidate. It contains only one of the two enantiomers (D and L stereo isomers) that make up regular (racemic) methylphenidate. The thinking is that you get the therapeutic effect of the D isomer without the side effects of the L isomer. Some people report that Focalin feels "smoother" than Concerta. It should also produce milder autonomic side effects (sympathetic activation).
