The meds only change you when you take them, they're optional, and can really help if you struggle sometimes. I only take them when I want to, or have to get shit done that I find difficult. Like studying, planning, decision making, getting started on jobs I don't like etc.
Sometimes just one at 7am is enough to get me going and productive, sometimes I need 3 throughout the day to keep focus and work hard on difficult problems. You can work out what works for you. There's no harm in trying them as they don't permanently change you without years of continuous use. And for me that would be good anyway, the benefits of the meds without the meds would rock!
