Thankfully, I don't feel like I am "on speed" at the dose I take. The goal was to increase the levels of neurotransmitters I'm not good at producing/not sensitive enough to while stopping short of noticeable stimulation. I honestly don't want to feel high or like I'm "tweaking out" because that's just as distracting. But the inability to maintain focus held me back for many, many years as my parents did not believe ADHD was a "thing". I didn't get medicated until I was in my 30s and it has made a world of difference. It's not a panacea and I still have my own tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses. But it's more like wearing glasses instead of having to squint for my entire life. Sure, I'd survive without it, but it's a tool to somewhat make up for a biological shortcoming versus the accepted norm. I wish you luck in your pursuit of self improvement and I hope you discover effective ways to get closer to where you want to be. It's a good thing to explore and learn about for sure.
