You're getting disproportionately criticised and having uncharitable replies but, you're right.

Any serious psychiatrist will confirm that medication is immensely helpful to the majority of ADHD cases if not all. Our brains are just different, chemistry-wise.

I don't know why people get so offended by this notion.

People have already responded with their reasons. You can try to hammer on with further digressions from what the submission is about (not even wrong), complete with that inflamed/emotionally charged interpretation, but what’s the point in spilling more bytes on this.

Please refrain from gatekeeping or trying to limit what I, or anyone else, can or cannot do.

The world isn't limited by your imagination.

I don't even understand what your point is.

How fragile are you? My comment is about why I don’t think spilling bytes on this question of yours is worth—it was already answered before you posted the comment.

Which is my opinion. Which doesn’t silence anyone.

Definitely not all. Medication doesn't work for something like 10% ~ 20% of us. In my case it worked well for 6 months and gradually I acclimated to it and the effects went away, I switched medications and had the exact same experience. I gave up after that.
