The most effective treatments for adding are medication and psychosocial therapy (psychotherapy). The medications can include stimulants such as methylphenidate and amphetamine, and non-stimulants such as atomoxetine, viloxazine, guanfacine, and clonidine.

Patients who have active issues with substance abuse are not advised to take stimulant medication. However, those in stable remission might look into them. Combination therapy using antidepressants, particularly SSRIs, is an alternative option.

Stimulants

The effects of stimulants increase the levels dopamine and norepinephrine in brain synapses. This improves concentration and decreases hyperactivity and impulses. The majority of doctors prescribe stimulant medication to treat ADHD. They may recommend methylphenidate (Concerta, Ritalin) or amphetamines, which are very similar to each other. The type of medicine prescribed will depend on the person's biochemistry as well as how well they respond to the drug. It could take up to seven days for the full effects of a drug to be apparent. Improvements in concentration, improved memory, improved sleep, and less impulse control are all indications that the medication is working.

Some of the side effects can include a decreased appetite, difficulty sleeping and an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. People suffering from medical conditions, like heart disease or high blood pressure shouldn't take these medications. They are highly prone for abuse and are closely controlled drugs. Only paediatricians, psychiatrists or neurologists, and in certain circumstances general practitioners can prescribe them. They can be found in the form of pills or tablets or patches that go on the skin, or liquids.

Children and adolescents who are dependent on stimulants often suffer from weight loss and appetite problems. When the dose is too high, they may also develop tics. If this happens, the doctor may reduce the dosage to prevent the drug from causing worsening of symptoms.

Stimulant medicines are used for approximately 70-80 percent of adults and children with adhd treatment. The majority of adolescents and children find that their symptoms get better when treated. This is particularly relevant for children who have parents, teachers or other caregivers who have reported improvements.

Early use of stimulants could reduce the risk for drug use disorders later in life. Wilens and colleagues79,80 Katusic and colleagues81,82 and Biederman and colleagues83 discovered that treatment with stimulants decreases the risk for substance use disorders in adolescence, but that this protective effect wanes as we enter early adulthood.
