I've been in the same boat.
Here's the strategy that worked for me for more than a decade now:
1. Getting the chemical baseline right: Make sure you have enough Magnesium, Potassium, B-complex and Vitamin D. Without these, everything else, including therapy or spiritual explorations, will likely fail. If you have trouble sleeping Mg Glycine + 5HTP are a great combo sans the side effects of let's say melatonine or benzos. Eat LOTS of meat, at least a dozen eggs a week, fish oil and seafood in general.
2. Nootropics: Piracetam + L-Theanine + Black seed oil (pills) + Alpha GPC have significant effect over time. You won't feel the immediate boost like with Adderal but small increments that will change your life over time.
3. Being hyperactive means no carbs. Nothing makes me more hyperactive than an insulin spike. Staying on low carb, keto and one meal a day is the best way to maintain mood stability.
4. If 5HTP and Glycine are great for boosting serotonin, L-tyrosine is amazing for boosting dopamine. I've discovered it last year and it's been a gift that keeps on giving. I've tried Modafinil and ended up in super weird mental states (mild paranoia, anxiety etc). L-tyrosine has been nothing but wonderful. Complete game changer.
5. Sports&hormetic stressors – make sure you have enough physical activity and healthy levels of other physical stress (e.g. cold temperature). Your brain will thank you for those endorphin releases post workout.
