I'm on atomoxetine at the minute, plus I have stimulants for work. Honestly give the atomoxetine another go, I had mad anxiety for a couple days and then it calmed down and went away, doesn't come back now. To answer your question stimulants, for me, are incredible. They don't completely fix the executive distinction but they make it a hell of a lot easier to deal with. The atomoxetine helps a lot too, but it isn't as powerful as the stimulants (but it also doesn't run out and leave you with 0 ability)
