As far as concentration, I'm on my 3rd day, and I think it's comparable to adderall, but maybe not as intense. With adderall, it seemed that I would get really focused at times, and then just want to sleep at other times. Some days the stuff just didn't effect me at all. I imagine that the same thing is likely to happen with concerta as it all has to do with how much dopamine and other neuro-transmitters your brain is producing.
