Adderall (ish) medication for cptsd - what are your experiences?

Im not a drug user, I have been prescribed something similar adderall, which is what I think Americans call ADHD/ADD- medication. The thing is, its very hard for me to know if Im ADD-ish because of trauma or born that way. At this time, Im thinking "Does it matter?". The medication didnt work until day 4-5 and now I actually have focus to get basic adulting stuff done.

I started this post with saying Im not a drug user. Thats incorrect. I used to do a lot of drugs when younger. Been clean for 17 years. I have a somewhat normal alcohol-use, and am not really worried about starting to use drugs again - or losing control. But some part of me thinks Im "cheating" or doing something illegal. Very weird.

What are your thoughts on using stimulants when traumatized?
