How does one cope without meds?

Showed up to see him yesterday (my driver was late to getting me there (it was state transportation)), so they had to fit me in when someone was a no show.
But I asked him about the ritalin question that I saw the aid put in his box. And he said he would change me to it, but wouldn't prescribe anything but one dose a day. (he said he doesn't prescribe any adults more than just a dose in the morning) so we ended up staying with vyvanse , but he up'ed it to 50mg (which I started yesterday.. (I actually put up a post on the med board about it) and i went into more detail into things and also just scratching the surface with the easiest way to describe things there in that post too. It altered - depending on how descriptive i felt like being.

but i'm still searching for another pdoc that could be on my insurance. I keep putting off making an appt with my general doc. :-\ my own fault there. I need to just get to it, but I never really do.

no to a job. I do, do things, but not somewhere i work or get paid for it or anything. Like right now, i'm watching -with my bestfriend- her little step sister for the rest of this school year, which seems to be a job within itself, lol. (i keep finding myself just going and doing her chores because it gets tirering telling her to keep doing it, and she doesn't do it right, and more sloppy everytime she goes back to do them- bah here i am rambling on again.)
But even tho i'm on med again, I still want to work on getting a structure (already have a schedule in the making )
waking up and going to bed were the first things on it, then i have added individual chores on it in a time period group, and I'm testing them out to see if given myself enough time for them, or if i need to add more/subtract time. Then a few hours of free time, then things that deal with the kid (hwk and such), then free time again, then the bedtime. (ofcourse hygiene is there, and food too *Adds eating right now* lol)
