I stumbled on this comic from Extra Fabulous Comics today.
It really did feel like gaining a super power when I started my meds.

I'm a fringe case, but the meds for me created tunnel vision that negatively impacted my life.
For most they can be a miracle drug, though.
As the other commenter said: it's something to discuss with your doc
Could have many reasons, from wrong drug to to high dosage
Extreme tunnel vision is something that also tends to happen in the beginning, but fades after your brain gets used to it
There's different classes of ADHD meds, stimulants and non-stimulants. I'm not trying to say I know better than you or your doc, but if you only tried one it might be worth giving something that works differently a go- unless of course you feel like your symptoms aren't negatively impacting your life. Again, not trying to give medical information over the internet, just sharing info in case someone doesn't know and could use it.
I had the same thing, but it was a matter of finding the right meds.
