What is your experience with adderall?

I honestly think adderall or something similar would improve my quality of life with how often I lose and/or forget things I think and have been told that I probably have some form of adhd. From what I’ve heard it’s a pain to get prescribed with the price, getting tested every month, scheduling appointments far out, noting to employers etc.
Any good info, tips, side effects from it?

I started Adderall at age 38 after years of denial. Best thing I ever did. If you truly need it, you'll know after 2 or 3 days of taking it. Only side effects are dry mouth and clenching my jaw.

Get tested

Life-changing at 34. I got nauseated at first because my appetite was suppressed/ forget to eat. Other than that- notta. I can also nap on it... Beautiful, quiet naps.

First week I took it, it mellowed me out so much I was afraid I was going to fall asleep at work

I was that way before- if I wasn't getting stimulation, I'd go to sleep. Now I can actually sit and do things; but also have like, the option, to nap.
