I can follow a conversation now without losing the thread. Did that come back for you too after meds?

Being able to follow a conversation without losing the thread is a core inattention change some people notice on ADHD medication, and it is not a mysterious extra cognitive-recovery effect beyond treating ADHD. Holding the thread of talk is a typical target of reducing impairing inattention. Stimulants are used for that purpose along with impulsivity and hyperactivity. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.
