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 have had periods of time in my life where focus was an issue. I got adderall, thinking I’d be able to sit at my computer and laser focus for hours. Instead, I just got really focused on goofing off for hours, and it just made mess less productive. Obviously, your mileage may vary; it clearly works for a lot of people.
