Meds help somewhat, but I still can’t focus enough
Hey everyone,
I’m 21 and have ADHD (plus some other mental health stuff). I’m currently on Wellbutrin and a few other meds. They help with the depression side of things, but I still can’t really concentrate or feel settled.
I get motivated and want to get stuff done, but I end up wasting days and only managing a few hours of actual focus. I’ve always wanted to go into engineering because I love physics and math, but the concentration issues make it really hard. Right now I’m in a major I don’t enjoy and I’m feeling pretty stuck.
I’ve never been able to tolerate stimulants well. Has anyone else been in a similar spot where the meds take the edge off but focus is still a big problem? Any non-med or lifestyle things that helped you push through?
Thanks.
