Very strange to me that people in the comments are jumping from OPs “I developed late onset ADHD” to “OP doesn’t have ADHD because late onset ADHD doesn’t exist” Isn’t it every bit as likely OP has had ADHD their whole life and is just now noticing the symptoms/the symptoms have recently been exacerbated in some way? To answer your question directly: I’ve been on stimulants for years. They helped me a ton, but more importantly they’ve helped me learn behaviors I can use when I’m off of stimulants to keep my focus where I need it. After 10 years, I’m taking them less and less, maybe 2 days a week. There are plenty of downsides to them (Andy Warhol said stimulants make you think the small problems are the big problems) so ideally you can use them as a tool not a crutch. I just read a book called ADHD 2.0 which was very enlightening for me, I recommend it.
