Exactly! My doctor made an analogy of taking meds with wearing glasses for sight correction: you don’t need to use it at all times, but if you do want to see properly then you do need them.

Out of curiosity: may I ask which medication are you using?

Most days I’m taking Concerta 54mg topping up with the short release (Ritalin) as needed. I never needed to try Adderall or Vyvanse as that combo worked so nicely for me. Some days I want to have finer control and just use the short release.

I cried throughout my first weeks on meds. Finally understanding how calm most people experience their brains was life changing. :)

Sorry for the late reply mate. I'm currently on 20mg Adderall XR, but I'm very interested in exploring alternatives because the duration is very limited for me (I have acid issues in my stomach) and the side-effects are prominent.
