2 other options: Stimulants usually help adhd you've tried single ingredient methylphen and mixed amphetamine salts, but not single ingred amphetamine. Try that. Ask your doc about single ingredient stimulant of amphetamine, such as dextroamphetamine and/or ask your doc to consider a nonstimulant such as Guanfacine or Clonidine (though each will lower BP and could have issues with bupropion) best wishes!

Non stimulants: There is a new stimulant named quillivant and nonstimulants like intunive that may be worth considering. Consult with your doctor for more information.

Yes: You have mentioned three of the controlled-release (long-acting) stimulants used to treat adhd. There are other short and longer acting adhd medications you have not tried such as straterra and dexedrine (dextroamphetamine). Talk it over with your health care provider to find the right treatment for adhd for you.
