Am I overestimating just how much they will help me?

I have an assessment soon, and I am absolutely confident i have it, so if i get on ADHD meds, will they help me read books again? will they help me study? will they help me get back to work if able? How much do they help with executive dysfunction?

I feel as though I’m putting all my eggs in the ADHD meds basket.

How much do they help you?

    Like, if the meds help you to be more productive at running yourself into the ground, that would not be good.

    Pretty much why my therapists suggests I don’t take stimulants for now. I guess especially with psychotic tendencies it can just create more chaos. Whenever I tried them recreationally they also made me quite hyper. Coffee also isn’t good for me. I’m at a phase where what helps me best is to meditate and yoga exercise.
