> Atomoxetine will increase dopamine in the prefrontal cortex. The effect of dopamine in the prefrontal cortex is not linear (i.e. more is not always better). So, when you get to the level of optimal increase for you, taking more could actually worsen cognitive performance.

More specifically, working memory works (pun not intended) better when the dopamine is at the right level. alpha1- and alpha2-adrenoceptors are also involved. For the latter, there is guanfacine (Intuniv, Tenex).
