Adderall after graduation: what's the next step?

I've come to realize that without Adderall XR, I'll never be the go getter and have such strong will to get things done, like I do now.. (on it)

Each and every time I take a day off on adderall or say I don't take it because i didn't get much sleep (For whatever reason), I can see what a drastic change it is.

Or Even my first month of medication, I took a whole week off it because I was trying to make the pills last. Cause I had some situation where I was worried I might not be able to fill my 2nd prescription (2nd month) because of my ID situation and having trouble getting a new ID, its a long story. Anyway all is well now so I don't have to worry about ID, i got new ID. But the point is, even for a week that i didnt take it, I could just see my old self once again.

I accepted to myself that I have a brain disorder and that I lack the reward chemicals to give me motivation to do things or tasks, and that to treat that is to take a stimulant that will give me the dopamine (reward) and fill that missing hole/gap that enables me to suddenly view things differently.. So I don't have any issue w/ taking medication personally. I recommend others look at things like this too. It's just about connecting the dots in your own personal life. Getting to the root of all the problems. If you can't function in terms of getting shit done without it, then you best just accept you need it. Seeing my new self now, with how motivated I am, and how I get so much done, I feel like there is no way I would want to go back to the old me, for now.

Everyone has their own life plan. Mine is to be an entrepreneur and get to a point where I can launch a few businesses and keep compounding my success and progress. I want to hire people, create an organization, etc. It probably helps that I happen to be very interested in business, always have. So I see it like, let me take meds for now to put in the work I need to put in (myself), cause ain't nobody gonna build it for me, then once I can, i'll hire people and outsource, oversee and delegate all the mundane boring shit that I just can't bring myself to do motivation wise..

Then I can just sit back and watch things and not feel omg i need to take adderall, etc. That is how I see it. Who the hell wants to be like 50-60-70 taking adderall still. Yikes. I'm tryin to create a game plan now with this new found motivation so that I don't have to later. I realize this may not work for others, i.e they arent interested in having a business.. but I personally just think more people need to open their eyes up to the idea, rather than joining the rat race and getting a j-o-b somewhere.
