Am I overestimating just how much they will help me?

I have an assessment soon, and I am absolutely confident i have it, so if i get on ADHD meds, will they help me read books again? will they help me study? will they help me get back to work if able? How much do they help with executive dysfunction?

I feel as though I’m putting all my eggs in the ADHD meds basket.

How much do they help you?

    What about Atomoxetine? Is that also super restricted? If not and if you can get your hands across the generic ones it should make you feel better.

    I am assuming you are from the US, and I cannot speak fot the US. But here in Australia you can get generic version of Concerta, that also wouldn’t be a bad option, I guess.

    Hope you feel better soon!

        Also note Atomoxetine is the name of drug, where as concerta is the brand name. The drug name for Concerta is Methylphenidate.
