>>5 You may just literally not have ADHD. What does your diet look like? Have your levels been checked for all vitamins and minerals? Do you avoid foods with synthetic dyes and preservatives that are known to cause or exacerbate adhd symptoms? What about sunlight? Or sleep for that matter? How many distractions are there around and have you taken steps to limit them? Perhaps there were some specific issues you had with understanding the work you were given and need to more specifically analyze those problems, to figure out how to solve them. All of this and so much more could be at play.
It's unlikely that medication will significantly help you without addressing more fundamental issues like these. Especially if you don't really have ADHD. If that's the case, those meds may actually make you more distractible
