For starters, check out the graphs at the top of this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerkes–Dodson_law
Even in the web of fraud&lies (err, "science") that is ADHD, we have the IRON LAW of diminishing returns to arousal, then negative returns.
Whether you took it during finals only, before a big brief, or daily, can you honestly say they turned you from a B performer to an A student?
Because the actual science shows that the typical user is a rabid procrastinator who gets Bs but would've otherwise gotten Cs. For them, it's the difference between churning out 30pgs of mumble jumble vs turning in nothing.
But on time-restricted, cognitively demanding tasks (eg LSAT, 3hr law school exams), it pushes your natural game day adrenaline and anxiety overboard right into the negative returns phase, where you write the FUCK out of your current train of thought, which you think brilliant in the moment but is actually incoherent. Then you run out of time to answer the last 3rd of the test/task, much less edit your initial spew of nonsense.
If it did unequivocally improve your performance in one area of your life, you'd still be on it. Might as well devote a lifetime to it.
So, how do you discontinue it without turning into a listless puddle who never leaves his basement or experiences meaningful human contact?

Oh, what a coherent "science"!
I forgot that Adderall can have the "paradoxical" (ie, totally inexplicable) effect of "calming" actual ADHD-havers!
It magically "treats" ADHD concurrently with its "comorbid" disorders, anxiety and depression!
Shouldn't benzos & SSRIs be out of business?

The 6hrs reading Wikipedia instead of working: how did you avoid duplicating that on eg a 3hr exam where you spend 2hrs writing "XO scholarship" instead of actually answering the question? Then you only have 1hr left to answer the actual question?
Or, on the L Rev competition: How did you avoid getting suckered in reading forever about scholarship and not actually writing anything?
So you only took it your 1L year, and not before or since? How'd you quit so easily after 1yr of daily use? Did you just stop going to the doc for refills?
After you quit, did you turn into a useless, lazy sack of shit for your 1L summer job & 2L Fall?
And why havent you gotten back on in your biglaw job and top the associates' billing chart?
So you
