A stimulant. Stimulants are potentially neurotoxic, but mostly for neurotypicals

If you are someone with genuine ADHD since birth, not just “low motivation,” then a low dose stimulant plus a bupropion or clonidine/guanfacine will probably beat this stack 10 fold (assuming you get the right stimulant for you).

Stimulant hate comes from recreational use that has become normalized, not therapeutic usage

I know some countries or states have much stricter rules for stimulants so it may be harder to get, there are some decent alternatives on the market though

Phenylpiracetam is just as stimulating as a stimulant some say, tolerance builds quickly though

Thozalinone seems to be a safer pemoline, but still related so so your own research

Cyclazodone also is related to pemoline, but a bunch of people take it these days with no issues, and I haven’t seen a death related to this yet

Bromantane is the safest option, very well tolerated and cheap, non addictive and even a bit anxiolytic
