> I had already been self medicating with coffee
Very much this. The nice thing about stimulant medication is it provides more of the ADHD brain regulation with a lower impact on your body (jitters, increased heartrate, etc).

Also, decongestant medication, though Adder-all is a mild decongestant so I don't use separate decongestants very often.
And then there's the inevitable "you run out of meds and have to navigate all these hurdles without being medicated" gauntlet that makes you cry in frustration.
If I didn't have a non-ADHD spouse, I doubt I'd be able to maintain it.
