Vyvanse to Ritalin, now what?

I have recently (6weeks ago) swapped from Vyvanse 70mg + 10mg dexamphetamine to 60mg Ritalin and I’m finding the Ritalin isn’t great. I had to swap from Vyvanse because I was having to increase my dose every 2 weeks (can’t increase anymore since I maxed out) and the dexamphetamine did absolutely nothing for me after about a week.

The Ritalin doesn’t do much for me except make it easier for me to refocus when I notice my thoughts wandering and it’s kinda shitty but not the worst for single tasks like training days or meetings, but aside from that, anytime you add more than 1 task it’s like my brain kicks back into how it functions without meds.

My only other option appears to be non-stimulants. Can anyone tell me what their experiences have been like on the non-stimulant medications for ADHD?
