> hi. i just cannot tolerate side effect wise the stimulant meds but really need something for my add. any ideas out there? im currently on 20mg celexa for depression, anxiety, irritability and it's working wonders.

Strattera I haven't tried, though it likely has a similar side-effect profile as stimulants. I would not recommend Selegilene for ADD. If anything, I had a harder time focusing with Selegilene. DMAE or even better, Centrophenoxine, is helpful to some extent with ADD. Also, Pyritinol may be of some help. If you're not already taking Fish Oil(EPA&DHA), you should definitely be taking that for your ADD.
