Maybe I wasn't doing it right but unless you have solid evidence proving otherwise I'm going to assume pharmaceuticals are more effective in most cases.I also had a problem with focusing when i first got into meditation, solved it by (or never saw it as a problem because...)
I was meditating for like 20-40sec every 1-2minute while doing other things in between.
Aslong as one is using that short period effectively... Pushing the crown up 'till ur exhausted is equal to physical "running" (which i couldnt either preform for extended periods without catching my breath)
I could push it further and further up for longer and longer periods the more days passed.
It went hand-in-hand with ability to focus, physical stamina etz.
