They did work some for me, but "really well" would be a stretch. Your results may vary...

  But that shouldn't dissuade you, or anyone else, from trying. People have a visceral negative reaction to "ADD/ADHD treatment", as far as I can tell, because they think of it in the context of adolescent diagnosis, parents forcing kids onto drugs they don't need that turn them into robots because they aren't doing well in school, etc. But if you're an adult--if you get to decide what does and does not go into your body--and you find out you might just have so-and-so condition and you could be much better off just taking this-or-that pill every day--and that the worst that can happen is that the pill just doesn't help--then you should forcibly shut down the ugh field[1] associated with the treatment, and just try it. If it helps, keep going. If it doesn't help, stop. If you don't like the way it makes you, stop. Just find out, one way or the other. 1: http://lesswrong.com/lw/21b/ugh_fields/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/21b/ugh_fields/
