My H isn't on the right meds. He's got ADHD-impulsive, some OCD, anxiety!!!, and maybe some narcissistic and histrionic tendencies.

.. what works for one may not work for another, depending on genomics and personal diet, responses etc. BTW we know that my husband has non-optimal response to stimulants and therefore needs higher doses. Everyone is different.
We have tried many meds, settled on Adderall currently plus a couple of others for anxiety and mood but we expect (he and I) that we must be fluid as chemistry adapts and doses must therefore be varied or meds changed. I recommend Daniel Amen's 'Change your brain, change your life' and some of his other books for good lay-person documentation of meds according to ADHD types. From there go for the med/pharmacology/genomics books. It is helpful(!) to find a psychiatrist who knows or is particularly interested in adult ADHD.
Thanks
