From what I've been reading, it's a mixed bag with Concerta & Vyvanse - most seem to either hate or love it. Seems like Adderall works the best.

I've tried both Adderall and Vyvanse. They both work close to the same. Some people want Adderall (not Adderall XR) because they can get the immediate kick from a larger dose.
Vyvanse is activated / absorbed more slowly, via digestion. It doesn't begin working until about 60 minutes after you take it. This was one of the selling points of the product - that it can't be abused like Adderall can. You can snort it, shoot it, and won't feel more than a placebo effect.
Plus the patent on Adderall expired (which means generics can be made now), so Vyvanse is being pushed as the next big thing.
Never tried Concerta, but as far as I know it doesn't contain amphetamines.
