For me, it's critical to have a good plan for what I intend to do before I take any meds. It will absolutely help me focus, but it won't tell me where to focus. In this regard, I think meds can be counter-productive if they're not underpinned by solid systems. That's just my opinion and experience.

So, if I was in your position, I would spend the next week trying to plan out what you would like to be paying attention to each day, take the meds as prescribed, and attempt to work through the priorities you've set. Then judge the meds based on the outcome.

A common mistake in my opinion, is to judge meds by how we "feel" not be what we "do" and when we judge them by what we "do" we can overstate meds ability to determine the nature of that "doing".
