    ADHD is a common childhood disorder that is characterized by increased inattention and/or hyperactivity. It can persist into adulthood. The most commonly prescribed medications for ADHD are stimulants, such as Adderall or Ritalin. Stimulants help to increase attention and reduce hyperactivity.

    ADHD is a condition that is typically treated with a combination of behavior therapy and medications. These medications can be divided into two types: stimulant and non-stimulant.

    Stimulant medications are usually taken for short durations and include methylphenidate (Ritalin), dextroamphetamine, dexmethylphenidate, mixed amphetamine salts, or pemoline. Non-stimulant medication options include atomoxetine (Strattera), clonidine, guanfacine, and lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse).

    Adderall, Concerta, Strattera, and Vyvanse: What Do They Do?

    All of these drugs fall under the class of amphetamines. They are not an over-the-counter drug and can be legally obtained with a prescription. They are prescribed for patients with ADHD, narcolepsy, or who have a physical disability impacting their ability to stay awake.

    These drugs have been around for a long time and are commonly used to help people stay focused on their tasks. These drugs work by increasing dopamine levels and altering mental processes in a way that helps the user feel more positive emotions.

    Adderall is an amphetamine that is prescribed primarily for children with ADHD. It has been around since 1959 and is typically only prescribed when other treatments have failed.Concerta is another amphetamine that was first introduced in 1995 and quickly became one of the most popular prescriptions for ADHD, but it’s use has had some side-effects such as headaches, agitation and weight loss.

    How to Find the Best ADHD Medication for Your Child/Patient

    The ADHD medication is an important tool in treating the symptoms that are associated with the disorder. But finding the right one for your child can be a difficult task. What should you keep in mind when choosing your child’s ADHD medication? You must consider how quickly it works, what it does, and its side effects. If your child has severe symptoms related to their ADHD diagnosis, you may need to consider going through an IV treatment with a psychiatrist. If the symptoms are manageable with medication, then this is a less effective option and you may still need to go through therapy.
