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?

Adderall helps me in a passive manner. I don't notice it, but I am able to concentrate better.

My problem is that after being on it for a couple of years, I feel like I'm getting diminishing returns.
