Obviously, this is all your choice in the end, but I got rotated on like, 5 drugs until they found one that worked for me and didn’t have any significant side effects. Asking your doc, and specifically pointing out that you don’t want a specific drug or have tried it before and found it ineffective, is always an option. I fought with asking my doctors to try different drugs for the longest time, but when I worked up to it, it was super smooth and easy.
Yea I understand, I’m glad it worked for you. In my case we tried a handful of types in my childhood, Adderall and ridalin (I might be misremembering the names but I think those were it) would put me into a living coma where I just didn’t talk to anyone, Concerta was the one that we settled on, but the dosage was still quite high for it to actually do anything for me (I was on 54 mg for perspective which is apparently on the higher end, 72 mg is the max dose they can do and generally start at 18 mg). I probably could look into swapping around again but, for the most part caffeine works well enough for me, plus I don’t really want to have an ongoing prescription again after being off it this long
