If you know you have ADHD, give the meds a go and then decide.
Imagine if in 30 years you finally try them and see what life could have been like. If they are not for you, no problem.
It's funny as the other commenter said about the dependence thing - most other drugs make you unproductive, and so they are harmful to you fulfilling your life goals. This is kinda different, and there are many days where I just go without because I feel like being lazy or just kicking around doing whatever.
