I was diagnosed with ADD earlier this year and was prescribed Adderall. The initial "Wow!" effects it had on me are long worn off, and I think they were more mental than anything. It was a great rush initially, I felt so much more productive and organized right away. After a week or so, my body got used to it and I just focused better. I still have to work, on my own, to stay organized and focused on the right thing. I like that I can still multi-task without losing track of my main objective, no more "oooh.. Butterflies" .
I am prescribed 20mg adderall twice a day, but I only take it once in the morning. I will skip it some days that I don't feel like I need to be productive like weekends or "meeting" days.
I do think Adderall has helped me, and continues to. But not in the ways I dreamed of prior to being diagnosed. lol
