The effectiveness of therapy when on VS off ADHD meds

Not looking for a specific yes or no answer - but interested to see others experiences of therapy while on AND off ADHD meds. Especially the effectiveness of therapy.

I struggle without them, especially the latter part of the day. So usually take an afternoon dose (2pm), but find that therapy just doesn’t work well when I’m on them (it feels hard to gauge my mood, access feelings, and think freely).

Does anyone else find this? I’ve brought it up my Therapist, so just curious what everyone else does.
