I've taken stimulants, both Adderall and Ritalin and I can't stand the way they makes me feel. I don't have a very severe problem though but I do struggle sometimes with procrastination.
I don't know how much patience you have for trialing drugs but some people have reported responding very well to Wellbutrin. In my own life, ritalin was terrible for me but switching over to concerta - a slower dispensing XR methylphenidate - did wonders.
There are a lot of options a neurologist can explore and everyone's brain is different.
That said... if non-pharmaceutical coping mechanisms work to your satisfaction that's great to hear.
