- atemerev 4y agoMedication helps, but it doesn’t cure ADHD on the spot, you know.
- sph 4y agoMedication doesn't cure ADHD like glasses don't cure your shortsightedness. Still doesn't make them useless.
- atemerev 4y agoI wear glasses, have ADHD, and take ADHD medication. Glasses make me see perfectly well. Medication, sadly, restores about 40% of my executive activity, I still can’t do many things that come effortlessly to a normal person (thankfully, I also can do some things that are usually difficult for neurotypical people, and the medication doesn’t make it worse).
- sph 4y agoI don't know. I would have a hard time determining how much executive ability I lack. When medicated I just find I am myself, but doing things. I couldn't tell you if it's 40% or what, just that I imagine I am like most people now. Doing, slowly moving towards my goals, without being a soulless hyperproductive machine. There's times I have to force myself to do something boring, like everybody else does, but I can still take them to completion. I think this is a healthy balance, yet much better than my previous state of complete and total inertia and infinite self-loathing.
