>I still have a long way to go, because it turns out just getting ADHD meds doesn't really fix anything, and also brings with it new problems.

Maybe it's down to cases of badly made self-diagnosis, and physiological and brain chemistry differences among people, but on this site alone I've seen opinions on treatment for ADHD that are all over the place.

On the one hand you'll easily find many, many comments describing how X or some combo of X and Y medicine made them feel dramatically better and more able to improve their focus/executive function, and then I also find a wash of comments like yours.

With all that noise, i'm curious about what the actual averages are for how effective treatment is for most people.
