Yes, often spectacularly.

I can honestly say that I wouldn't have been able to hold down a serious professional career without it - ADHD is a very real thing that some people have to deal with, and its effects can be crippling to life outcomes.

I don't like the way stimulant medications feel to actually take, and the long-term health effects do worry me a bit, but it makes it possible for me to live something significantly closer to a normal life than I would ever be able to manage without them. Really can't overstate how transformational it's been for me.
