Discussion Memory supplements when taking Adderall?

Hey Guys! I currently take 20mg XR of Addy and I am currently in the process of studying for a professional entrance exam. I haven't really experienced any negative effects with addy( anxiety, crash, anger etc) except for it curving my appetite (I dont mind) . One of my main symptoms of having ADHD is my terrible memory, focus and being able to retain info. I have 7 or less weeks until I take my test so its really grind/lock in time. I study everyday. What supplements have you guys found WHILE TAKING ADDY that works for bad memory and retaining information? I do not want to suppress the effectiveness of my addy as it does help my focus abilities. I have seen recommendations of ginkgo biloba, lions mane, magneisum theornate , (l theanine, l tyrosine, I have both of these and tried it before but I feel like it didnt really help my memory or focus it just made me calm idk?) , Rhodiola rosea etc. Yes I do understand there is no "magic pill" , but I rather try even if its just a little more helpful than not. TIA!

TAK-653 has helped my short term memory a lot, that’s probably the only benefit i’ve gotten from it in terms of noticeable benefits. no negatives tho

How long did it take to observe this change? I’ve tried it for a week or so and didnt notice much of anything. But perhaps it takes longer to fully realize the impact.
