Hi Francesco,

I have ADD (along with recurrent major depression/dysthymia).
Once I'd brought my depression to heel, I decided to tackle my (then undiagnosed) attention difficulties with some noradrenergic agents.
I tried Imipramine and Lofepramine- both improved my attention span, but unfortunately sparked irritability, to which I'm prone anyhow.
Amantadine was far better in this respect, and my (dopamine assisted) 'focus' improved dramatically.It didn't help my depression though, to say the least.
Provigil, Wellbutrin or even Deprenyl have been used off-label with moderate success, and I intend testing out some of these prior to a stim.

Best,

MJ.
