Atomoxitine for the past few years. Recently I have tried modafinil to supplement it. It’s like a lightweight version of stimulants. I find that I don’t need a normal 100 mg dose for it to work. 50 mg is enough, and I think even 25 mg it has a noticeable effect.

I am experimenting with Adderall on one or two days per week, then modafinil for 2-3 more, with atomoxitine everyday. (I basically supplement my strattera Monday through thursday, and occasionally on a Friday to make work easier.) This seems like a really useful combination to me so far, and with this dosing schedule, it seems like it will take a very long time for me to build up a tolerance, if I ever do.

I love my prescriber. He knows that I am fairly cautious about medications, so he is willing to prescribe different things over time to see what works best.

After decades of trying to find the perfect system, I settled on a searchable notes app (I use Joplin) to dump in everything, and a mind mapping app (I use Xmind) as a day to day log. I keep regular journal entries in Joplin, and anything from Xmind that I want to be able to find later I just copy-paste into a Joplin note. (You can copy a Mmap node, then when you paste it will dump a text outline in.)
