Concerta is making me go crazy

I got my diagnosis for adhd in January and have been on meds since end of Feb. I started off at 10mg of vyvanse and went all the way up to 40mg but it caused me to feel anxiety all throughout my body and my heart rate was always high. My doctor then switched me to 27mg of concerta and I found it didn’t help so we went up to 36mg and now I’m on 54mg. I have found that being on 54mg, my brain feels like fog, I get irritated easily and it sure as heck doesn’t help me focus. It also really suppresses my appetite and when I try to eat, I feel sick. The ONLY positive thing was that I actually have energy from the time I take it, around 8-9am, and then I crash around 5pm. At this point, I don’t know what to do. Should I try another medication, like adderal? I’ve heard so many things from different people and I just want to be able to have my own success story.

Thanks in advance!
