I’ve realized that I kind of rely on my periods of hyperfocus to complete things (when I’m able to direct it toward the right task). If I go onto medication, will I still be able to hyperfocus? As destructive as hyperfocus can be when it’s pointed at the wrong thing, it’s like a superpower when it’s pointed at the right thing. Sometimes I appreciate the periodic flurry of activity and inspiration.

Yeah I still hyper-focus, with or without meds 🙂

I still hyper-focus on the wrong things, not on the work I have to get done...

Same here. Hyperfocus stays but you should get more control of it.
