Not sure which adhd stim med to take

Hi I’ve recently been diagnosed and my Dr is giving me the choice to chose between lisdexamfetamine or Metgylphenidate.
I actually hate having choices it stresses me out.

My wife has 2 colleagues on concerta and it’s life changing for them. ChatGPT is recommended lisdexamfetamine from the info and questions I have been asking. I’d have a history of anxiety and ocd(thought based) get angry easily, imposter syndrome, tend to ruminate, trouble letting things go, trouble organising ah the list goes on.

Also I am thinking I should start the meds when I am off work rather than in work as I am worried about feeling overly anxious. Is this what most of you have done around starting meds?
