p.s.: argh, typed this over 12 hours ago and just found this open page. It's clearly not working. But here we go anyway:
- Guarana, for example in a capsule. Effectively a mild stimulant, basically extended release coffee.
- Get out of the slow cycle of: symptom -> doctor -> check for specific deficiency -> supplement. Check for everything proactively. In many countries, you can go directly to a lab and have your blood taken there, if your doctor doesn't play along.

NOS brand energy drink seems to work better for me than any other brand, so it may be worth looking into its ingredients list for things that potentially have a synergistic effect with caffeine

Saffron.
What does this do? Do you have any research indicating this has potential benefits?
Ketogenic diet helps with ADHD. So it's the opposite of a supplement, you have to take the sugar out of the food
I.e. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0289133 Ketogenic diet ameliorates attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in rats via regulating gut microbiota
Not much research in human studies yet for ADHD specifically, but the anecdotes and n=1 case studies are compelling. Not eating sugar is free, so it's worth a try
Update - Even metabolic mind (the group funding most of the research, says ADHD is still a area of ongoing research.
We don’t have robust evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of ketogenic therapy for anxiety, ADHD and brain fog, but clinical experience suggests that in fact these conditions might benefit significantly from ketogenic and metabolic therapies. Early results from clinical trials for other diagnoses show that improved attention, clarity of thought, and decreased anxiety are common beneficial outcomes.

But its safe, and free, so worth a shot.
