Does anyone else experience variation in what the effect of their meds feels like?

I've gradually increased my dose to 2 x 30 mg of slow release methylphenidat and have had a couple of days where I felt fantastic. Very focused but also calm and balanced. I had this very strong feeling of "really being myself" as in being able to use my full potential as a person.

Then I have some days where I barely notice anything and today I've mostly just felt jittery and a bit anxious. I can feel the stimulating effect on my body (higher heart rate) but without the mentally calming effect.

Try taking note of what you eat and when. It can really affect the meds. I know with vyvanse I have to eat at least a small amount with it for it to be effective, and no caffeine until later in the day.
