I'll research more into magnesium, thanks. I'm already on SSRIs so I might give Strattera + vortioxetine a try
Another +1 for magnesium glycidate before bed, and another suggestion for you to speak with your Dr about is propanol; it's a blood pressure medication used to treat anxiety, it's often used in combination with ADHD meds. I personally didn't like it, but it can be very effective for some people.
Good luck! Internet platitudes are cheap, but for what it’s worth I hope you do find something that works for you, and don’t get discouraged!
It took me 10 years from adult diagnosis to find the right combination of meds and lifestyle for me. But once I did it really is life changing! I may not have a neurotypical life, but my quality of life is just as good as my peers.
