My daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia three years ago and then at the onset of at home learning late last spring we realized something else was up. After neuro testing she was diagnosed with ADHD. She's on a daily dose of Focalin and the difference is night and day when she's on/off it. During this time of getting my daughter tested and researching the subject I realized I have many of the same symptoms she does. My wife for years has thought I have ADD which I would casually brush off since I was (and am) a successful electrical engineer. But the WFH was a real struggle for me and my focus and I think I was able to mask it for years. So I went through a full neuro evaluation and it turns out I don't have ADHD just slow processing. I struggle to really dig in and get started on a task for longer than 10-20 minutes. So after talking with my doctor I started taking Amphetamine Salt (aka Adderall). I do notice a difference on and off the drug. On it I can sit and focus for long stretches of time. It is not a "miracle drug." I still struggle at times with getting started on a task. It won't help the what do I work on first problem. But once that decision has been made I can sit and flat grind through stuff. I don't normally take it on the weekends. The neuro eval was good to help me better understand my brain and why I do certain things and so it helps me know what to work on. I recommend getting it. Think of it like any other diagnostic tool that a Dr. has (ekg, colonoscopy, etc..) - it just gives you more information on your body.
