My advice?

If the person who's telling you that you should "outgrow" and quit the medication is an actual medical professional in that field of expertise, either the one who prescribed the pills or one who could issue such a prescription, take what they say seriously. You don't have to obey everything they say blindly, but you should make sure they know just what difference the medication makes for you.

If it's anyone else, fuck 'em. People these days, even when they're generally well-meaning, are duped into thinking they're smart on issues where they really have no fucking clue. ADHD in particular is an issue where people think the only qualifications they need to have to judge the "correct" medication course for another person to follow is vague perceptions that "we're tranquilizing our children into submission with Ritalin!" and chances are that isn't even their own thought, it's something they heard somewhere and decided to believe even though they have no first-hand knowledge of the subject. They don't know what it's like to have every element you need to do things - maybe great things - every single element of the equation except focus. They don't know what it's like to struggle miserably through days of mental fog, trying to get the clouds to clear so that you can achieve something. If they don't understand, fuck 'em.

Even if it IS a medical professional, they aren't all knowing. Second opinions might be in order.
