Without a single doubt, a net positive. Important context to add is that I also had my tonsils removed at 23 when my PCP let me know that if I didn't have them removed I might suffocate in my sleep. Years of what was likely tonsilitis and the latent sleep apnea is likely what lead to my ADHD (strong scientific evidence to support this).

What still scares me to this day is how much more calm and witty I am when taking stimulants. Otherwise, I have a fog that seems to distract me or nag me away from doing anything that I'm otherwise interested in or makes me happy. Fortunately, I no longer have to drink 3-4 cups of coffee to get "in the mood" for work.
