Medical Treatment Options for ADHD Adults

The first line of treatment for ADHD adults will usually be stimulants such as Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Focalin, Dexedrine, and Metadate. Stimulant medication for ADHD appears to balance neurotransmitters in the brain reducing impulsivity and hyperactivity and increasing attentiveness. Sometimes doctors will prescribe non-stimulant atomoxetine or antidepressants, like bupropion, Strattera, Catapres (Clonidine), or Intuniv. Studies show that non-stimulant medication reduces anxiety and defiant behavior.
