Stimulant not working

Hey guys, I started MPH a while ago and since then my doctor has been increasing my dose every ten days because the stimulant works well on the first day but the effects start declining gradually and by the fifth day they stop working completely. I’m already on 36mg and today is only the second day but I can hardly feel any push from it. MPH is also the only stimulant available in my country.

Has anyone else experienced this and eventually found a higher dose(like 54-60 mg) that worked long term after lower doses didn’t? Finding the right dose is really important for me because I struggle to function without it and the brief periods when the meds work are the only times I’m able to get things done. I'm 34 years old.

Would really appreciate hearing others’ experiences.
