I don't want to respond to the top comment so it doesn't look attackish, but expecting the medication to completely cure the symptoms for everyone is laughably wrong.
I've got decades of learned behaviors to deal with. And while my doctor was correct in that a medication that works will be like night and day (I'd rephrase it as life changing), I still struggle more than I like.

Thanks for sharing a piece of your ADHD story though, I think more people need to hear stories like ours (and others) so that they don't feel discouraged if they try ADHD meds and it doesn't act as a magic pill as they expected. This expectation is dangerous.

When I take concerta if I’m sleep deprived I will just constantly doze off. Concerta makes me extremely sleepy in that case
