For sure... Though I've recently found out that the medicine works, but I hate the way it makes me feel and I'd rather have zero executive functioning than to take it every day.

Everyone is different, after all you are literally adjusting the chemistry of your brain. But some people take a while to adjust to psych meds. I am very sensitive to psych meds and get all the weird side effects. It usually takes me about 3 months to let my body adjust to a new drug and get a real idea of how it's going to make me feel. Admittedly I am taking more than just ADHD meds, but it can take a while to find the right thing. I have had many whose side effects started out sucking, but then went away or became tolerable. But even worse is the ones that start out perfect, but then slowly show their problem sides. It can be so difficult to switch when the side effect seems so minor at first but everything else is perfect.
Also, there are different meds and they can affect you differently. And there are different types of meds, some are stimulants and some are not.

I'm sorry to hear it, my partner similarly doesn't react well to some of the meds. They take strattera and it took them a few months for the side effects to subside. It never hurts to try different meds!
