Hi mark,
i'm not sure how it is in America (?) but here in England we're very lucky to have free meds on the NHS.
i would suggest 30 minutes excercise a day, lots of caffine (its a stimulant so does much the same thing on a not so grand scale) when you can't concentrate and some people say St John s Wort helps.
There are lots of alternative meds but a very healthy diet is supposed to be the best. (i find that hard!!)
My best tip is, like me (meds free) findin a way to run with it, not against it helps. I have electronic diaries, notes all round the house, on my desk a to-do list with 'rewards' when I complete things. I break tasks down to the tinyest manageable chunks rather than look at an overwhelming big picture.
Keep researching, education is the key!!
