No there is no over-the-counter ADD med. The only really effective medicine for ADD is one of the stimulants such as Vyvanse, Adderall, concerta, Ritalin, or provigil. Most of the time these medications can be managed so that the side effects are either absent or minimal. However, in about 15% of the cases the side effects are too great to continue the medication. All these medications need a doctor's prescription monthly. Although there are a number of good general supplements and natural ADD formulas that improve a couple of the symptoms of ADD/ADHD, the only over the counter natural supplement that rivals the stimulants without side effects is ADD-care. ADD-care has been tested at the Amen Clinic and performed as well or better in SPECT brain imaging and the Conner's impulsivity tests. It is available at http://www.add-care.com

Generally speaking, no. Most ADHD medications belong to a group of drugs known as stimulants. In most countries, stimulants are controlled substances and are only accessible with the authorized prescription from a doctor. Receiving stimulants through the internet is illegal; most sites offering such are scams.
