Just like the majority of things in life, moderation is the important part. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a teen, and took adderall to deal with it and get through school. In my 30s, I continue with taking it in reasonable doses, with breaks occasionally. It helps me focus when I want, and I have no known side effects except for a lack of appetite after taking it. 10mg still gives me the same effect as it did when I was a kid. Amphetamines are useful when applied correctly in the correct dosages. Like the majority of drugs out there. Step aside doctors, let the pharmacists do their jobs.
