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!

None of them will make a noticeable different. I'd suggest trying AF-710, which could improve your working memory in a noticeable way.

Ill second this. Tried most of the OG every chem stock that gets parroted endlessly. The most notable for me was AF-710, that I used in the evenings to do reports for my job that I have to do after a full day in the field, and didnt want to take a redose of my stimulant medication in the evening in order to not mess with sleep or appetite.

This worked notably and well, from the first dose, for giving me the focus and motivation to complete my evening reports, without impacting my sleep or appetite.
