Answer
The number one people medicate ADD (usually without even realizing they are) is by smoking cigarettes. Obviously that is a terrible alternative. Take it from me. Good for the ADD but bad for, say, remaining alive.
Another option is the careful, judicous use of caffeine. I prefer green tea. Caffeine generally (not always) has a calming, focusing effect on ADD folks, rather than the buzz and rush for non-Add folk.
Too much coffee (not all that much, really) will actually make me take a nap, makes me sleepy like a sedative.
But the right amount of caffeine, combined with a decent diet and exercise would go a long, long way.
