MAOIs by themselves can be effective for ADHD -- especially Parnate.

If you still have symptoms, though, you can try (cautiously and under close supervision) adding a stimulant to the MAOI. Provigil (modafinil) or Cylert is liable to be safer than the amphetamine-type stimulants. (Adrafinil may also be useful.)

There are also other meds sometimes used for ADHD, such as clonidine and guanfacine, which are safe to use if they help you.
