My parents made me start taking the meds after getting diagnosed in fourth grade. Took them up untill junior year of high-school. They do help you get uninteresting work done but the side effects are not worth it IMO. Loss of personality, depression when they wear off in the evening, loss of appetite, loss of interest in hobbies, insomnia.
A lot of the people who rave about them just started taking them. The more you take them, the less effective they are and you have to keep raising the dose. I’m at my happiest right now when I manage my symptoms with exercise and meditation. I do use adderall quick release once in a while if I really need to get some boring work done. I definitely would NOT take these everyday.

Reply to comment by Ketosheep in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga
