I commonly read youtube comments that state a drug like Strattera completely changed their adhd for the better.

Whilst I havnt tried this(yet) I wondered what other options exist?

There's some merit in that. But I wouldn't really recommend always allowing it. Modern life requires doing some things that ADHD tries to prevent (like finishing that super important project or whatever), but if we give in to it, we can feel some repercussion (like losing our jobs).

Yeah but that's exactly what I'm saying. If you live in a country with a good social safety net and are fine with living with little money, then losing your job because you didn't finish that big project is not a problem.

Maybe for some, sure. But I don't want to assume OP is one of those, and suggest this tactic. It might be a great way to deal with ADHD, I'm not arguing one way or the other, since it seems to work for you and that's absolutely amazing. However, it could land some people in a lot of hurt.
