I commonly read youtube comments that state a drug like Strattera completely changed their adhd for the better.

Whilst I havnt tried this(yet) I wondered what other options exist?

That's exactly my aim now. I overworked myself in past. Employers out here are living in the past, demanding 40h weeks. This really broke me several times with burnout depression. Now, in the job interviews, I tell them all that I will not work more than 35h, better: 32.

Honestly, I would not be above complete and utter deception. Companies and many of the people working for them don't have your wellbeing at heart. In a job interview, I always present as the best and hardest, most passionate worker going above and beyond all the time. I do not feel bad about it at all. Then I just do as much as I can/want and see if they fire me. I simply do not care to be good and honest in a system that's the farthest away from goodness and honesty.

They usually show me the door out. But this is still better than doing all they would demand.

Used to work where they liked people at <32h bc it meant they didn’t have to cover health insurance
