I also tried it for about 6 months this year (Ritalin and Vyvanse, ultimately settling on the latter) after getting a diagnosis. I had tried these drugs back in college and early in my career to what seemed like great success, but this was a sideways experience... boring/monotonous stuff was easier, but it actually didn't conclusively help in situations where deep concentration was required. The effects also rapidly tapered off doing it on a daily basis and it didn't feel great for my health on the whole, so it eventually turned into something only done when needed, but ultimately it just seemed to be less and less effective. Also tried Straterra and had a bad reaction to that, so decided to just go without and manage. As a mid-40s adult I feel like I have all sorts of ways to cope that I didn't make consistent use of when younger, esp. using GTD tooling and taking copious notes to keep things on track. Interestingly enough my 'normal' concentration off these drugs seems to be improved... as if they were training wheels.
