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
