Little late, but check out Gabor Mate's "Scattered: How Attention Deficit Disorder Originates and What You Can Do About It"

I'll admit I only read about 1/5 of it and ...wandered off, but now that I'm thinking about it again it's time to put it back at the top of the book pile.

Since I've considered trying many of the same routes you've taken, but have only done Adderall and some anti-depressants at various stages in life.

It works to help realize how messy my place is or to get necessary (deadline-driven) work tasks done, but historically has also led to increased anxiety, tunnel-vision (lack of creativity) and often ends with me stopping for a period due to feeling exceptionally drained feeling after prolonged usage.

I don't like the concept of being on meds for life, but I also would like to keep the job I have until I find one that's more suited to my temperament in this regard...so, tbd on that. Good luck!
