My daughter is on ADHD medication, and the first one we tried gave her a zombie-like feel as well. She responds to her current med much better!
We medicate her only during the week/school year. On the weekends/during the summer we go the caffeine route like you mentioned above, only, since she's a kid and is picky about taste, she pops a few chocolate-covered espresso beans instead of drinking coffee. We've found it to be very helpful, but she can't have any after noon or else she's up ALL NIGHT LONG.
