I really want to avoid adderall if I can help it.
Some context: I actually managed to get an adderall prescription but I'm scared to take it I don't like taking medications, I don't even take stuff like Tylenol unless absolutely necessary. I need something though I feel like I can't keep up at work

For me, the drugs didn't even help very much. They just made me jittery, irritable, and killed my appetite.
They even tried putting me on Strattera, which is a non-stimulant, but it didn't help and also gave me ED.
What ended up helping me was reading a doctor's blog, where he described ADD/ADHD as a "dopamine deficiency" and recommended diet/lifestyle changes/supplements to help manage it. I'll see if I can find it.

I'd be interested in reading it, I don't want to take drugs

Good idea. I had a lot of side-effects from the ADHD meds they put me on.
