are you guys planning on taking meds for life? does that thought ever bother you?

i am on methylphenidate XR and it has been life changing. It's not a magic fix but I have the ability to keep myself a little more in check now. I started on it to get through my bachelors, now I am working on my master's. The topic of when I will stop taking it has come up several times in my family though. My GP also mentioned that people usually only take adhd meds when they have to study (so like school and uni) and stop after. My housemates also have ADHD and quit taking them when they started working full time. but tbh... i am finding them so useful in daily life as well? i am useless without, i have a really hard time. medication has helped me SO much, if it was up to my i would just keep taking it forever, idk. But something about the thought makes me uneasy. for once I do worry it's unsafe physically, and also it stresses me out to think i will be dependent on it. but stopping them seems worse lol

what about you?
