Because that’s not why many of us are on these meds. For me, they allow me to not burn the house down cooking dinner, and ensure that I still have enough executive function left after work to not lose it on my kids due to the chaos they cause in my house. I don’t take the meds to be a productive worker bee, I take them so that I can be a decent mom and take care of myself and my family.
