The drug of choice depends on the person. I prefer Dexedrine or Adderall, my son does well on Ritalin. Given your history with Anti-Ds though, I wouldn't bother with Strattera or Bupropion until you've tried the Stimulants. For one thing, you'll begin to see how they affect you in about 30 minutes rather than possibly weeks. You may well find they're smoother-acting than caffeine, as well.
If you want to find out more about ADHD and whether it sounds like you (sure does to me), a really good book is "Healing ADD" by Daniel Amen. He also has a diagnostic quiz on his website, www.amenclinic.com.
