I just started generic Focalin 5 days ago, 5mg once a day. It makes me feel wired, like I've had too much caffeine. I can't tell yet if it's helping with my concentration, and it doesn't hurt my mental state as far as I can tell, but I'm wondering if this physical jittery feeling will fade over time. I can't imagine feeling wired like this every day.

Are you consuming caffeine or other stimulants along with it?

No, I stopped drinking coffee a couple months ago and don't drink soda or tea. Pretty much just drink water these days.
