Is anyone on a low dose of Adderall or a similar stimulant, and do you find it helpful/effective?

When I was diagnosed (at 20 yo) I started on Adderall XR and my psychiatrist essentially took a “keep upping the dose until you feel side effects” approach, even though I still saw some benefits at a lower dose. I’m currently unmedicated and am somewhat hesitant to restart, but feel I could see some benefit and better stability with the help of medication.

I need my planning periods so I can redo my ENTIRE curriculum... and I just feel unappreciated, used, and nothing more than a babysitter.

I'm really frustrated. I'm on a 3p team
& my manager called out sick today. My male
colleague was very quick to reassure her in the
group chat she had nothing to worry about,
& “we would handle it, np". He then
privately messaged me & said "hey, I don't
have capacity today to look at the team stuff, I'm busy with my other work" & I ended
up supporting the whole team by myself.
I'm happy to be a team player, but F his taking credit for my work. How do I get credit for this without “tattling”?

There's another offer on d table which seems more lucrative, its nearby wid hybrid model nd i think it can match or even exceed previous offer.

I am left wid one last interview, thts going to hpen on Tuesday(29th) and i am confident tht ill clear it. so would it b wise to revoke the first offer?

I dnt wnt to make them wait for me, as ive already made my mind. Or m i a fool?
