unfortunately, this might not seem like a great solution for my problem. I have been on meds and I still can't perform and I didn't notice anything getting better while I was having those meds.
How long did you take the meds for? How long ago did you stop?
Even if we’re just talking antidepressants, it usually takes a number of tries to find the right fit. The same thing applies to ADHD meds.
Also, medication is most effective in conjunction with therapy.
To add on to the other commenters, medication alone doesn't usually solve things. Rather, it makes you more able to implement solutions to your problems. It's why therapy is pushed so hard.
You could also be on the wrong meds. It can take a lot of experimentation before they work.
