Prescribed Adderall for Possible ADHD - Looking for Experiences

I’ve been on adderall xr for my adhd for a little over a year and it has helped me tremendously. I have severe time blindness and it’s helped that a lot, as well as ability to “hone in” on what I need to get done. The only bummer is that I think my body metabolizes it faster than it’s supposed to because it wears off around 2:00-3:00pm so I have a short-acting dose I take as-needed when I still have work to get done later in the day/evening.

what do you mean by "by itself"? do you need to take another medication to feel functional?

honestly i didn't really feel the adderall, it helps me focus and makes it easier to get in the zone but it doesn't do much by itself

When i first started adderall xr it basically confirmed that i had adhd. Within an hour of the first dose i took, my brain felt SO silent, its like the 9,00000 things that were always going on in my head went to like 3-4 and it was weird, but its helped me a lot ever since.
