I won't encourage you one way or another since they can certainly be rough, but in my experience the subsiding of benefits was really the subsiding of euphoria that comes with amphetamine. Drugs feel good, especially at first.
When that happened for me, it went from "I must do 1 million things today" to "I can effectively do what I need to do," which beforehand was so hit or miss that I probably couldn't maintain a regular 9-5 due to how poorly I was able to regulate my executive functions.
I don't like the meds. They definitely mute me a bit. I'm much sillier and funnier when I'm not on it. But the trade off for that is being able to consistently get just enough of a push that I'm not fucked as soon as I'm bored.
With me, it went from "The benefit is so good that I can ignore the side effects" to "I no longer have the benefit but still have the side effect at this dosage." I was concerned that I might have to keep increasing the dosage. It is also a colossal pain in the ass to get the prescription filled. Not worth it for my mild symptoms. It might have done me some good in my 20s, though. I was more dysfunctional then.

Good God this fucking irkes me. After 3 years of no issues I should be allowed to have more than a 30 day supply. Hell, ill take the 30 day if I can get a refill without waiting until the very last second by law and contact the office every single time.
