I used to, but I stopped because it made me loose interest in my obsessions and that caused me to get rather depressed.

I used to take Concerta and then Ritalin, but around 13, I stopped taking them because I didn't like how dull and boring I became.

I already take two things that help sedate my frenetic brain and I don't think I'd feel comfortable adding stimulants into the mix, I could get adderall but I don't think it'd help me whilst I'm on other things and probably not long term either.

It's the dose that makes the toxin. Water is toxic if you drink too much and oxygen is toxic under pressure, and at sufficiently low concentrations of cyanide, arsenic, mercury, and anything else is completely harmless. Just sayin'.

I do take my ADHD meds, but I will say, I have had some that were bad for me. I used to be on Adderall, but I had to be taken off of it because it made my depression worse. Then, I was on Concerta, and I had to be taken off of it because it turned out that regular stimulant ADHD medications were worsening my psychosis. Now, I'm on Straterra, and it just plain out doesn't do anything really, but I take it anyway just in case it's helping a little and I just don't notice.
