My suggestion: Find a psychiatrist who is willing to let you experiment with medications and see what works. Try all of the different stimulant types, starting with the oldest (because it’s the best-understood). If none of them work for you, then you’ll have to find other means to work on your focus issues; talk therapy is not likely to make a difference. I’m sure Ask Metafilter can recommend someone in your area who fits this description.
Because they found someone good for a friend of mine. And the prevailing community standards there mean that you simply don’t get snarky or useless answers; you get useful answers or nothing at all. Which is rather nice.

Huh, why Ask Metafilter?
