Yes, the number of people in here with medical degrees is astounding...until you realise they got them from the same place as Professor Pingree...
I'm on my first week of being prescribed Adderall in my mid 30s after trying 2 other meds, and I'd describe it as being happily motivated, not tweaked out. I'm able to be more present in the moment rather than my mind being 5 other places during conversations, social anxiety melts away, and I'm able to more easily prioritize things rather than spiral into decision paralysis.
Just have to watch my caffeine intake now, would get up to 600mg some days, now under 300 a day or even less. Doesn't help I also started a stressful project at work and am going to pretty much live there for a few weeks though!
It sounds like you were over prescribed or should have switched to a different stimulant. It shouldn't cause any meaningful side effects, if you're personality is changing that should be a red flag to you and your prescriber.
I would also argue that the diagnosis is actually liberating because once you start to understand why certain things are difficult, you can work on strategies to overcome them. Meds and mental conditioning are first line, but there's also research that shows parts of an ADHD brain will actually grow and be more nuro-typical after taking medication. So children who take meds will actually develop faster than a non medicated ADHD brain. This also means that even though you stopped taking the meds your brain is probably still better developed now because you took them for several years.
Emotional/executive maturity in a nuro-typical brain at the age of 21 matches a non treated male ADHD brain in the late 30's. It's pretty substantial, I'm hoping my kids can reach that level by their mid 20's to make their lives easier.
It's the total length of time that it's been prescribed, there's over 90 years of research and people have taken it since adolescence into old age without issue. People who are medicated have fewer unplanned pregnancies, lower chance of abusing alcohol and drugs, better and longer relationships, and more stable higher paying jobs. All you have to do is look into per reviewed studies, not one's that come out on social media and immediately try selling you a cure-all. The life outcome of treating ADHD vs not is so overwhelming better it's fucking crazy some people still don't believe it.

No doubt about it, but none of what you just said addressed risks like destroyed receptors and cognitive decline, because the research is directed in a self-benefitting area.
It may be true, but it's not the whole truth.
Didn’t say it doesn’t work for some. I’m saying it’s heavily abused by a lot of people for varying reasons, especially in the tech industry, and I’m sure elsewhere.
And it’s fairly easy to fake your way to a adhd diagnosis.
