Did modafinil ever come up in your lab? I was DXed ADHD somewhat by surprise and due to the situation, medication was not an option (and is rather difficult to obtain in my country anyhow). After reading about off-label use of modafinil for ADHD, I gave it a go, and it has worked very well from my POV.

I had many conversations with the psychologists about ADHD, but we were focused on measuring cognitive workload based on UI changes--measuring prefrontal cortex loading. I did most of the physiological event extraction from the terabyte event databases. Ironic (in a twisted fashion) that I would miss an interaction because ADHD, but the human factors engineer could pick it up right away. I tried the unregulated modafinil prodrug adrafinil but never asked the Doc to prescribe it. Our subjects probably didn't have ADHD.
