I recommend you to rotate your meds every 3 mods to diminish tolerance make user to use meds that use different mechanisms of action. I developed tolerance to Ritalin and my old doctor just keep increasing the dossage untill he told me to take 1 month med vacation cold turkey....my current doctor prescribed modafinil to me in the off months:

This is how my creatment works:

3 months of Ritalin on week days
3 months of Modafinil in week days
Coffee on weekends

Coffee is actually pretty good but the problem is that tolerance is developed too quickly all people who consume cofee daily have built a high level of tolerance, so discontinue cofee when you take your meds so you can use it in your off days

You were misdiagnosed.
You can't grow tolerant to the chemical in your brain that's used for sending signals.
Adhd just means you have too little of this chemical. Ritalin boosts this chemical because your natural production can't keep up.
Eventually, like me, your brain adapts to the imbalance and you no longer need the drug to function properly, but takes increasingly more of it to maintain that feeling that it's working.

I strongly suggest weening yourself off the drug at 18 years old. Only use it for big tests, etc, so that your at your maximum focus. And be completely off the drug before your first job interview.
