ADHD Treatments For Adults
Many of the same treatments that are effective for children with ADHD also treat adults. These treatments include medication, counseling (psychotherapy), and life skills training. These treatments may consist of a combination.
Stimulant Medications
The drugs increase the brain chemicals that control self-regulation and attention. They include the chemical methylphenidate (marketed as Ritalin, Concerta) and stimulants belonging to the amphetamine group, such as lisdexamphetamine (marketed as Adderall, Vyvanse).
Stimulant Medicines
Stimulants boost the body's metabolism and can lead to an increase in mental alertness and physical activity. These include legal substances like caffeine (added in coffee and tea), nicotine, and prescription medications used to treat attention deficit disorder (ADD) as well as narcolepsy and hyperactivity. In large doses, stimulants can create over-stimulation, which can cause anxiety heart palpitations, high blood pressure, aggression and paranoia. Long-term use of stimulants can cause the dopamine system of the brain to malfunction and reduce feelings of happiness. The stimulants are available as pills, liquids, or patches. Methamphetamines, cocaine, and amphetamines are stimulants which can be gotten illegally and used to abuse.
These drugs are also known as central nervous system stimulants. They function by increasing certain brain chemicals that boost concentration, decrease tiredness and increase alertness. Adults with ADD and ADHD are treated first by these drugs. They are available as an all-day formula or a longer-acting formulation that remains active throughout the day, for example the methylphenidate and lisdexamfetamine.
Iam Psychiatry may also suggest psychosocial interventions such as education, psychotherapy or coaching. It is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of medicines over time. This is a difficult task.
Non-stimulant Medications
About 15%-30% of children do not respond to stimulant medications This is also to be the case for adults as well. The non-stimulant medications take longer time to take effect and it can take up to a few weeks for you notice any effects. They don't come with the same side effects and are a better option when you are not able to take stimulants or are afraid of addiction.
