I've tried modafinil once for an exam. It helped with concentration, but not focus, if that makes any sense; i.e. I procrastinated as much, but was super effective about it. I've tried mild amphetamines (Ritalin) as a freelancer, and I ended up practicing my handstand half of the time. There really is no drug that replaces emptying your mind of worries (seeing a shrink for the big things, and putting aside the small things), knowing what you want to do, and doing it.

Strattera (atomoxetine) actually helps with impulsiveness (and anxiety) but it's not a substance that can be just taken when you need it, you need to titrate up, and for some people it causes unbearable side effects. My experience with it is very minimal to non-existent side effects, but a very noticeable increase in executive function (doing what I know I need to do) as well as a decrease in anxious tendencies. My advice if you go that route is to start with a small dose and take it with protein.

I take vyvanse and adderall for adhd, and a common thing people say that rings true with me is that it's a tool to concentrate but it's still up to you how you use it and decide what you concentrate on. An analogy I like is that taking stimulants creates a hyperbeam of focus but you have to be able to yield that hyperbeam and point it where you need to focus.

strattera is for focus
