You can do what I do.

My doctor let me change my dosage whenever I feel. She trusts me for this. She is also an ADHDer herself.

I've found that depending on circumstances I can do well with 10~20mg of the cheapest generic methilfenidate, non LR/XR/whatever, so in my country is USD 10/20 per month. I went as high as 50mg of the USD 100/mo famous ones.

Over time with my other therapist (psych) I trained myself to have some discipline processing my feelings, etc. Understanding the routines that were lacking.

Here it's common to have regular meetings the psychiatrist/psychologist combo. So different perspectives.

My biggest issues were knowing what to do, but not getting it consistently, like:

- getting x minutes of sunlight during the morning, and be consistent almost everyday

- drink water even on hyper focus moments

- pay more attention to breathing even when I'm in the zone doing a lot of apparently rewarding tasks

- trying to stop on unproductive hyper focus moments, realizing when they come

But the medication is necessary, since changing habits, specially the bad ones is harder.

I use the meds as an opportunity to understand myself and having easier time relearning my habits, and getting rid of the bad ones.

good luck!
