ADHD Treatments Treatment For Inattentive Adhd Adults

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

Stimulant Medicines

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

Stimulant Medications

Stimulants are substances that speed up the body's system and may cause higher mental alertness and more physical activity. These include legal substances like caffeine (added in tea and coffee) nicotine, prescription medications used to treat adhd attention deficit disorder (ADD), narcolepsy, and hyperactivity. In large doses, stimulants can result in over-stimulation and cause anxiety, heart palpitations, hypertension as well as paranoia and aggression. In some people, long-term use of stimulants can damage the functioning of the brain's dopamine system and dampen feelings of pleasure. Stimulants can be taken in pill form, liquids or patches that can be applied to the skin. The most commonly used and illegally obtained stimulants include cocaine, methamphetamines and amphetamines.

The medications in this class are also known as central nervous system (CNS) stimulants. They function by increasing the amount of certain chemicals in the brain which improve concentration, reduce fatigue, and boost alertness. Adults with ADD and ADHD are treated first with these drugs. These medications can be a formula that acts quickly that is taken in the morning, or a longer-acting medicine that stays active throughout the course of the day. Examples include Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) or methylphenidate (Concerta Ritalin).

The health care team may also suggest psychosocial interventions, such as psychotherapy or education. It is important to monitor the effectiveness of medicines over time. This is a difficult task.

Non-stimulant Medicines that are not stimulants

general-medical-council-logo.pngAround 15%-30% of children do not respond to stimulant medication and this is probably true for adults too. Non-stimulant drugs take longer to kick in and can take up to several weeks to begin to notice any effects. They don't have the same adverse effects, and are a better option for those who are unable to tolerate stimulants or are afraid of addiction.
