Some people claim success with grape seed or pine bark extracts and taking the amino acids D- and L-phenylalanine and L-tyrosine, but I noticed no impact from taking pine park extract. DLPA helped for a while and I may revisit it.
I also believe I have non-hyperactive ADD (what Amen calls inattentive ADD) which was complicated by a bad case of burnout that is clearing up now.
Strattera seems rather promising for inattentive-type ADD. It is atomoxetine, a selective reuptake inhibitor of norepinepherine, rather than a psychostimulant. But, as always, some people react well to it and others poorly.
