ADHD Treatments For Adults

Adults can benefit from the same treatments as children. These treatments include counseling, medication (psychotherapy) as well as life skills training. They can also involve some combination of these treatments.

Stimulant Medications

These medications work by increasing the amount of certain brain chemicals that help control self-regulation and attention. They include methylphenidate, sold under the names Ritalin and Concerta as well as stimulants belonging to the amphetamine family such as lisdexamphetamine, which is marketed under the brand name Adderall and Vyvanse.

Stimulant Medications

Stimulants are medications that speed up the body's systems and may cause higher levels of alertness in the mind and greater physical activity. These include legal substances like caffeine (added to coffee and tea) and nicotine, and prescription medications that treat attention deficit disorder (ADD), narcolepsy, and hyperactivity. In large doses of stimulants, they can cause overstimulation which can result in anxiety, heart palpitations and high blood pressure. They may also cause aggression and paranoia. In some people, long-term usage of stimulants can harm the functioning of the brain's dopamine system and dampen feelings of pleasure. Stimulants are available in pills, liquids, or patches. Methamphetamines, cocaine, and amphetamines are stimulants that can be obtained illegally and abused.

These medications used to treat adhd are also called central nervous system stimulants. They work by increasing certain brain chemicals that improve concentration, decrease tiredness and increase alertness. They are the first line treatment for adults suffering from ADD or ADHD. They can be a formula that acts quickly that is taken in the morning, or a longer-acting medicine that remains active in the body for most of the day. Examples include Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) or methylphenidate (Concerta, Ritalin).

The health care team may also suggest psychosocial interventions, like psychotherapy or education. Monitoring the effectiveness of medications over time is important and is an extremely complex process.

Non-stimulant Medicines

About 15% to 30% of children do not respond to stimulant medication and this is probably true for adults too. The non-stimulant drugs to Treat adhd take longer to start working, and may take a few weeks before you feel the effects. However, they don't have the same danger of having side effects as stimulants, and could be a better choice in case you aren't able to take them or are worried about addiction.iampsychiatry-logo-wide.png
