Same. I have tried the 4 main ADHD meds; all of them just make my heart rate spike and that’s about it.
And since I’m limited to Medicaid in the US, doctors have basically told me “well that’s all we can do. Other options are available but your insurance won’t cover those”
What worked for me was to make sure to eat while taking it (within a 20 min window - could do 40 but that was pushing it), and go for a short run a 40-60 min after taking it.
Having my heart rate already up when it kicked in made the heartrate spike barely noticeable, and it felt like I burned through the side effects just by suffering through a run for 15-20 min. I guess biking or any cardio training could have the same effect, but running was easiest for me to fit into my schedule.
I tried it. All it did was up my heart rate. Doc prescribed it as an appetite suppressant. It did fuck all for me in that regard.

Yay American “healthcare”!
