> In any case, what meds might you suggest to help with this problem. I've heard people on this board talk about the following:

I have no experience with Straterra, but perhaps it would be a compromise between the two. Adderall, having abuse potential, is probably the most effective, though. You could also try the racetams (piracetam, aniracetam, etc.) They are sometimes helpful and are more gentle. I believe piracetam is now available OTC. Piracetam is slightly anxiogenic, but in my opinion, not enough to matter. Make sure you work with your doctor, though.
