I can't comment about amphetamine-based meds from personal experience, but for me the withdrawal from everyday usage of methylphenidate is just 2 days of being sleepy. Very easy to endure.
If you're still concerned about addiction, ask for Vyvanse or Concerta instead of Adderall. Vyvanse has the same mechanism of action except it's more delayed and smooth; Concerta is different but still effective while having an even lower addiction potential.
>I would really like to be able to fall asleep easier but I still may give them a try.These are stimulants, so while they may make your head quieter, they stimulate your body similarly to caffeine by making your heart beat a bit quicker and so on. This is not good for falling asleep, which is why it's often a good idea to time your meds so that they start wearing off a bit before your planned bedtime.
I'll also elaborate a bit on the honeymoon period. When you start taking amphetamine-based meds for the first time, you'll likely get some euphoria for the first week or so. Do not get used to it because it will wear off with time. You're looking for increased focus, the temporary motivation boost is a side effect that you shouldn't chase.
