Medication management for ADHD brings expected results in about 70-80% of cases. Healthcare providers first decide on stimulant or non-stimulant treatment.
Stimulant Medications
Stimulants are fast-acting, with effects noticed within 30 minutes to a few hours. The most common stimulants are:
- Adderall (amphetamine & dextroamphetamine)
- Focalin (dexmethylphenidate)
- Dexedrine (dextroamphetamine)
- Concerta (methylphenidate)
- Ritalin (methylphenidate)
- Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)
Non-Stimulant Medications
Non-stimulants take longer to show effects and are used for patients with stimulant side effects or addiction history. The most common non-stimulants are:
- Strattera (atomoxetine)
- Kapvay (clonidine)
- Intuniv (guanfacine)
- Qelbree (viloxazine)
- Wellbutrin (bupropion)
How Do ADHD Medications Work?
The main purpose of ADHD medication is to boost the production of dopamine and norepinephrine and balance their levels.
They help the patient reduce impulsiveness and frustration, improve the ability to focus and increase the attention span, enhance memory and information retention, and more.
Although medications can't make the person obtain new habits, they improve brain functioning and create a strong foundation for behavioral changes.
We are here to choose the most effective ADHD medication for you.

What Is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders. It typically develops in childhood but often persists into adulthood. It comes in the form of inattentiveness, hyperactivity, or their mix.
ADD vs. ADHD: What is the Difference?
Today, people with symptoms of ADD also receive an ADHD diagnosis. It is all about the history and the changes in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).
DSM-3
Included ADD (attention deficit disorder) of two types: with and without hyperactivity.
DSM-5
ADD was changed to ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), which involves three types: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive, and combined.
Common Symptoms of ADHD
Inattentiveness
- Difficulty focusing on tasks and completing them
- Quick distraction by low-priority activities
- Reduced attention to detail
- Forgetfulness and tendency to lose things
- Procrastination and poor prioritization
- Reluctance to engage in mentally challenging tasks
- Carelessness
Hyperactivity/Impulsivity
- Excessive fidgeting
- Inability to remain still for long periods
- Switching between different tasks without finishing them
- Hyper-focusing and losing track of time
- Restlessness
- Impulsive behaviors
- High impatience and excessive talking
- Frequent mood swings
- Inability to cope with stress
These are major symptoms of ADHD. During the assessment for ADHD diagnosis, you will fill out more detailed checklists.
As part of the initial evaluation, your healthcare provider will rule out other mental health conditions. ADHD has a low chance of developing in adulthood, and its symptoms may mask or co-exist with:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Bipolar disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder

Causes of Adult ADHD
The exact causes of adult ADHD are not fully understood. Research suggests that a combination of genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors may contribute to its development.
Genetic factors
ADHD tends to run in families, indicating a genetic component. The disorder may impact specific genes involved in regulating neurotransmitters and brain development. Studies have shown that individuals with a family history of ADHD are more likely to develop it.
Neurobiological factors
ADHD is associated with differences in brain structure and functioning. It can affect neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which play a role in regulating attention, impulse control, and executive functions. Structural and functional differences in the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia have also been observed.
Environmental factors
Prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke, alcohol, or drugs, premature birth, low birth weight, and maternal stress during pregnancy have been associated with an increased risk of ADHD. Lead exposure and certain prenatal and early childhood environmental toxins may also play a role.
Brain injuries
Traumatic brain injuries and other types of brain damage may increase the risk of developing ADHD or exacerbate existing symptoms. However, ADHD is not solely caused by brain injuries, and most individuals with ADHD do not have a history of such problems.
