Suggest Remedy For ADD

I am 34 yrs old and I have adult ADD. I have tried Adderall, Welbutrin, and now I am on Straterra for the 2 nd time.First, I was on Adderall and it seemed to work for a while, but I was having side effects on sleep problems and racing thoughts. The Welbutrin seemed to give me a euphoric mood. I couldn't distinguish reality from my dreams. I also had some suicidal thoughts. I stopped taking Welbutrin. I Stopped taking Straterra the first time cause of the side effects with my penis. I am back on Straterra cause I am running out of options. The issues I have had effect slow starting urination and a slow stream. After ejaculation I felt a burning sensation like a just ejaculated a hot pepper. The next sexual activity with my wife was a little uncertain to. I had a hard time staying hard.and it took a long time to get off. Which wasn't all that bad for her. But, nontheless the ejaculate still felt like it burned.
What can I do? I need something to help my ADD, The side effects got to go.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
When ADHD goes into adulthood, it generally becomes ADD. You have already taken medication which are considered first line for your condition but unfortunately you had side effects. But don't loose hope. There are many options left, like stimulants, clonidine etc. But a proper evaluation is needed before making a definitive plan. You need to undergo investigations and psychological assessments. Visit a professional.
