For sure! So of those, I've had D-Amp (Dexedrine brand) Adderall (D-Amp and Levioamphetamine), and Lisdex (Vyvanse), and methylphenidate (as extended release Biphentin). The amphetamines (Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse) all work similarly with slight variations on delivery mechanism or effect, and the same with methylphenidate (Ritalin, Focalin, Concerta) which work similarly, and meth. I found methylphenidate to give me a headache and not really provide much of a boost while amphetamine has definitely improved my concentration, energy and mood. Adderall has more of a pronounced effect but lasts less which can be beneficial if you just want the focus and energy during school or work, say. Vyvanse is a smooth and delayed release delivery system for amphetamines which is probably your best bet for sleep and less jarring effects.
Special shoutout here to guanfacine which is a non-stimulant medication for ADHD that smooths norepinephrine functioning -- personally I'm a fairly anxious person and one of the reasons is a dysregulated fight-or-flight system and emotional turbulence, resulting in inappropriate bursts of adrenaline, trouble sleeping, interpersonal wariness. Because stimulants can increase anxiety, it goes together really well for me.
