Thank you very much for sharing your story. As a a board we sometimes get tunnel vision here. Being on a stimulant if you don't need it is not a good idea.
There is some research to suggest that stimulant use in non ADHD can worsen cognition (in spite of providing subjective feelings of improved cognition).
For some people, whatever med you prescribe, the patient can make work - just to prove a point. But in some cases, the wrong med can be disasterous.
For instance, OCD people will often self diagnose ADD, but stimulants in OCD can make things much works.
