Hey, ADHD is one such illness that responds very well with medications, but some variations do exist.
Please consult your doctor once, there might be a possibility that the dose is not adequate, so if any dose adjustments to be done, the doctor will do.
And No, there are no direct tests to know why medicines are not working
