Your description sums up my experience quite well. I have been on Concerta for 5 months now 54mg + 18mg at lunch). In the beginning I felt like I could do "Everything, everywhere, all at once".
Now it has mellowed out a lot and I can even say I feel more affected by my AD(H)D on meds. But I know that is because the medication is helping in some aspects and some aspects alone and doesn't fix everything.
I have a greater ability to focus on the things I actually need to focus on (with some deviation of course), and the best part is that it heightens my mood level. Instead of waking up and being at a -5 I feel like i am more baselined with the medication. A baseline that actually makes me want to do things instead of just feeling that everything is an unclimbable mountain.
