Thank you very much for this, it's given me a lot of hope. Your pre-Adderall experience sounds completely identical to my life as it is now. I've always avoided seeing a doctor about it because of horror stories I've heard about Ritalin and Adderall from friends and strangers. I don't want to become dependent on any sort of drug, or at least not in a way that affects me in the long term or causes serious withdrawal issues. If it actually does the job with tolerable side effects I'd be okay with taking it for the rest of my life. I'm going to arrange an appointment in the near future.
