Having coping mechanisms and and understanding surrounding is way more important.
Without that and only meds I am only the person with the highest tension in the room.
And my adhd was measured. Low dopamine.
Btw I tried a adhd friendly diet and sports once . I don’t know if it was placebo or real but it felt like it helped much.
Mini meditative naps of 5 minutes also help if my brain is on the run.
Honestly in my opinion meds are the easy way out but the side effects make alternatives necessary. On the long run there need to be better solutions that imply that society has to go a step toward the mentally divergent or Ill and respect their behavior as good willing and maybe find a better way to incorporate those in the workplace and social life.
Sorry for edit:
For example. If I have one of those adhd moments, where I am bit to specific about something and talk too much because of it, my friends recognize this and tell me to „ wake up“. And everything is fine. But if someone like this is needed.. there I am ;)
