Adults can benefit from many of the same treatments as children. These treatments include medicine and counseling (psychotherapy) and life skills training. They may also involve the combination of these treatments.

Stimulant Medicines

The drugs increase the brain chemicals that control self-regulation and attention. They include methylphenidate, which is available under the brand names Ritalin and Concerta and stimulants from the amphetamine family, like lisdexamphetamine. It is known by the brand name Adderall and Vyvanse.

Stimulant Medicines

Stimulants are drugs that stimulate the body's system and may increase mental alertness and increased physical activity. They include legal substances such as caffeine (added in coffee and tea) nicotine, as well as prescription medications used to treat attention deficit disorder (ADD) and narcolepsy and hyperactivity. In large doses, stimulants may cause over-stimulation and lead to anxiety and heart palpitations, as well as hypertension, aggression and paranoia. Long-term stimulant use can cause the dopamine system in the brain to malfunction and reduce feelings of satisfaction. The stimulants are available in pills, liquids or patches. Illegally obtained and abused stimulants include methamphetamines, cocaine and amphetamines.

The medications in this class are also known as central nervous system (CNS) stimulants. They work by increasing the amount of certain brain chemicals that improve concentration, decrease fatigue, and improve alertness. They are the initial line of treatment for adults with ADD or ADHD. These medications can be a short-acting formula used in the morning or a more prolonged-acting medication that is active throughout the duration of the day such as lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) or methylphenidate (Concerta, Ritalin).

The health care team could also recommend psychosocial interventions like psychotherapy or education. Monitoring the effectiveness of medication over time is vital, and can be an extremely difficult task.

Non-stimulant medications

Around 15%-30% of children do not respond to stimulants and it's likely that this is true for adults too. The non-stimulant drugs take longer to begin working, and can sometimes take a few weeks before you feel the effects. They do not have the same negative side effects and are a better option for those who are unable to tolerate stimulants or are afraid of addiction.Royal_College_of_Psychiatrists_logo.png
