Answers:
Herbs and products that help me, that are over the counter are!.!.!.!.!.!.

*Licorice Root ( motivation!!, and energy and has other benefits too), when I am not taking medication licorice root is the most helpful herb there is!. I think it acts as a stimulant and somewhat of an antidepressant!.!.!.it seems like a balancer!.!.!.!.it is good for overall health and energy!.!.!.don't abuse it, though, only one or two capsules a day, more than that and it might cause an imbalance!. Take breaks from it now and then, also!. It is a powerful herb, but it works!. A good balancer of brain chemicals and hormone system!.

Red Clover is similar to the licorice root, very helpful!.!.!.you can make tea out of it, or take one to six capsules a day (two or three a day is probably optimal)!.!.!.it can be found at Vitamin World

There is a vitamin product at Walgreens called
'One Daily Energy' (for mind and body)

and it contains guarana powder!.!.!.*guarana* is a very good motivation herb for add, I think, so I like this vitamin complex, very much when I don't feel 'energy' or 'motivation'!. It is *motivation* that helps one focus!. Guarana root can also be purchased in a powder and tea can be made from it!.

Kola nut is another energizing herb that can be found online, from places like Rose Mountain Herbs!.

*Gotu Kola!.!.!.!. makes a good, energizing, and uplifting tea!. You can find this at health food stores or online!. If you buy the loose tea it is usually more economical, and you can also get a little tea infuser basket to strain the tea!. Gotu Kola might be found, also, in capsules, but I have not checked!.

I personally think black tea, and green tea is helpful!. I brew up a batch and drink it with sugar and ice!. I am not anti-caffeine!.!.!.I think caffeine is helpful for ADD!. That's just my humble opinion!. But tea seems better overall than coffee and softdrinks, less acidic on the stomach than coffee!.

Do some research online to learn more about these herbs, and others, and use your common sense and intelligence to discern if you think they will help your particular symtoms!.

I am only 'sharing' here the herbs that help my ADD, everyone is different, but the herbs I've shared, when used wisely, and moderately, are not harmful to body or mind!.

I'm glad you are not trying to get high, because a healthy body and brain is in 'balance'!. Some of those chemicals you listed are not healthy to take!. They don't create a good balance in your brain and bodily systems!. The golden mean is moderation!.!.!.!.!.!.be wise in your choices!.!.!.and when you are able I recommend you to go to a doctor and tell him about your ADD symptoms!. Ritalin is not a bad medicine!. it is very helpful for ADD symptoms!. Better than Adderall!.
