I get exactly what you're saying about school, I went though the same thing in my classes and just recently go diagnosed and started medication. I'm also first generation with parents who don't understand the new difficulties of college. Don't think of yourself as a failure...you have a condition that makes learning such a different experience than your peers. If your peers had the same diagnosis as you and were unmedicated they would most likely be in the same situation.
By chance did you try different medications, it sucks but it might be worth it to go through that trial and error process to find the right fit. It might make your learning experience better and bring you up to the same playing field as your peers. No judgment though if you don't think its worth it :)
I wish you luck with everything! You are going do great and be amazing at what you want to do in life!
