Adhd meds not working! Is this normal?

Doc prescribed Axepta-18 and axepta-10 mg, it's not working like I expect, I read of r/adhd that you will unlock your true potential on adhd meds. I know it is non stimulant and I have been using it for 4 months now. Is this normal? I asked, he said try it for 1 more month and then come on, it continues till 3 months, now he added 10 ng axepta too(18 mg earlier). 28 mg axepta and said came after 1 month. In starting he gave me 6 mg axepta after 14 days 18mg and after 3 months he again increased the dose to 28 mg. He isn't prescribing me stimulant either. But he isn't listening to me either. He says that I shouldn't think about adhd or whatever disorder I have. I just religiously followed it and then he  added up that he doesn't want me to visit his clinic too much, he doesn't want me to be dependent rather I should work on coping mechanisms.
