Nah don’t do it. From your description your ADHD isn’t a huge impediment (save for the overwork) and one’s brain chemistry isn’t something to be messed with lightly. I’d posit that you’ll miss the hyperfocus if that goes or diminishes, so I’d look for other strategies like meditation or forced timeout from working rather than medication.

Also think if you hadn’t been “diagnosed” with ADHD - you’d think this was just how you were and you wouldn’t look for a pharmaceutical alteration for your unique manifestation of the human condition.
