I see you have done a lot of research.
I deal with add/depression too and I have tried a lot of drugs.
Stimulants and not selective mao-i's are not available in my country.
I had a short experiences with ritalin,(wich was good but not easy to obtain) and concerta (wich was bad).
SSRI's make the problem worse for me.
Selegiline and piracetam were disappointing.
My best results were with modafinil 100-200 mg and tianeptine (up to 225 mg,although effective dosage varies a lot and starts with 37,5 mg daily).Don't worry that it is a tricyclic/it has no anticholinergic effects at all.
It causes me no side effects.The other combo that was effective was 100-200 mg modafinil combined with very small dosage of desipramine (25-50 mg).
Both of these combinations improved my focus/motivation.
The first one improved mood somewhat better.
Kira (sjw) helped also after 3 weeks off continuous use.
