Psychedelics (LSD, psilocybin, DMT) have some efficacy as well, and need to be studied more in the context of ADHD. A particularly powerful DMT experience gave me about six months of focus control.

The issue with LSD/psilocybin and ADHD is you can't take it everyday or even every other day because tolerance builds extremely quickly. I don't think there's a way you can time the doses where you'll have the focus benefits daily, but I could be wrong.

Honestly, I believe (at least for my brain), the path is a strong DMT experience, followed up with a regular microdosing regimen (two to three times a week, sub-threshold dosing). I can say that one time, I quartered a tab of acid and took the quarters over four consecutive days, and each experience "felt" the same in terms of intensity (which was very little) and focus control.

As far as I know, LSD and psilocybin both have a roughly two week tolerance curve.
