Your comment brings me such joy, Scott! I love that it gave you insight into a current situation.
And, your description of trying to be patient is perfection!
Medication is typically a stimulant that when one has ADHD actually slows the brain down, allowing one to focus.
I tried it twice, but my body hated it, while my brain was the happiest it had ever been. For once in my life I was able to focus and the distractions were gone!
I wonder if the pharmacist at the drugstore where I worked as a teenager felt the same as you. LOL
And, above all... GOOD LUCK!!
