PPPS ColdFire5, I was reading somewhere that sometimes improvements take time, and even though there’s some improvement we aren’t focusing on the improvement as much as what hasn’t improved yet. So for example, if you used to get distracted 10 times an hour and now your distracted 5 times an hour, that’s an improvement (hooray), but you wouldn’t realise it because you’re still distracted.
Also cognitive behavioural therapy can be helpful with learning the skills that maybe you were unable to learn growing up because of the ADHD. Its like teaching a child to read. There’s no pill that can make that happen. (Disclaimer: I’m not suggesting you stop taking the meds, they could have improved your focus enough to learn or relearn what you need to succeed).
Sorry for blathering on, its what I do
