Hi Rose76

Modafinil ( Provigil) may be the right med for you. It's approved for narcolepsy & other sleep disorders. But, it's very popular among students & IT workers who take it to stay awake and concentrate on their work.

It's also prescribed off label for ADD. It's non-stimulant and non-addictive. It starts working 30 minutes after taking it and its effect lasts for about 8 hours.

The other medication that may help you is Strattera. It's approved for ADD. It's actually a norepinephrine inhibitor and takes about 6 weeks to start working. It's also non-stimulant.

I take both Strattera and Modafinil. They work wonders for me. Personally, I do not like stimulants because of its addictive nature.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Tashu
