I can't focus on anything (even if I want to or it's something fun) despite taking ADD medication. I've tried multiple brands, but I can't do anything! I can't get my work done, I can't think straight, I get bored with everything, and I am constantly failing assignments. I can't concentrate enough to make mac n' cheese (which is boiling water, pouring in pasta, waiting 8-10 minutes, and putting cheese on it). I've lost interest in everything and even if I didn't, I couldn't be able to focus on it long enough. It's really upsetting and I don't know what to do about it. Has anyone been through this? Am I normal for being like this?

    If the medicine doesn't work, you probably don't have ADD. Perhaps you should go to a neurologist and see if you have a physical issue with your brain.

    I have a friend that had the same problems after he quit smoking weed. He started again, and everything is interesting again. Maybe you need some buddha.
