[quote=Anonymous]ADHD isn't just a problem of "focus" or "distraction." You sound like you could use some better resources for ADHD generally. I don't mean that unkindly, I just think it might be useful to understand what ADHD is and isn't, to help you on your journey. You might start with ADDitude magazine online, if you haven't already. To answer your question, yes, stimulant meds help with basically all aspects of ADHD, including executive functioning. If you have an ADHD brain, they don't hype you up and they don't tend to lead to hyperfocus on "unproductive" things-- which tends to be a feature of ADHD itself. I have (very consciously!) developed decent enough executive function skills over many years that in a vacuum, I wouldn't absolutely need stimulant meds most days for that (although it's still helpful). At this point, I primarily take them for emotional overwhelm and ADHD-related anxiety. -Person with ADHD[/quote]
