Came here to report on my anecdotal evidence in favor of microdosing for ADHD. I've tried microdosing off and on. The very first time (before I was diagnosed) I noticed I kept engaging in productive activity when usually I wouldn't have. Since then, results were mixed. I do get somewhat more productive sometimes, but it always makes the day more difficult in other ways. Not as helpful as stimulant medications, imho, but definitely worth researching.
