ADHD Medication For Adults

Adults suffering from ADHD are often treated first by medication. Stimulants boost brain activity areas that control attention and behavior.

They can reduce the intensity of hyperactivity, fidgeting, and interrupting. They are typically provided in conjunction with behavioral therapy.

Stimulants

Psychiatrists with a specialization in ADHD can prescribe medication which can ease symptoms of the condition. These include medications like methylphenidate or dexamphetamine that increase the levels of certain brain chemicals that control the ability to focus, discipline, and impulse control. They can also lower your heart rate and be an sedative.

Our psychiatrists are trained to carefully adjust the dosage of the medication you are taking and make any adjustments needed to ensure that you get the best results. They will look at side effects and the way your medication affects you to determine the correct dosage. You may have to try various types of medication before you find one that works. Stimulant medications typically start working within 45-60 minutes, so you should see the results of your treatment very quickly. You may have to keep track of your symptoms at home for several days before your doctor can determine the optimum dose for you.

While stimulants are the most commonly used kind of medication used to treat ADHD, there are other drugs available. Non-stimulants, which include antidepressants and atomoxetine, improve concentration and impulse control by acting in a different way to stimulants. They are helpful in situations where you are unable to take stimulants because of health problems, or if they do not produce the desired effects or cause undesirable side-effects.

The effects of stimulants increase the number of neurotransmitters in your brain, which help brain cells communicate with each and each other. The side effects could include weight loss, sleep issues and other negative side effects. Your psychiatrist will be monitoring these on a regular basis to ensure that you are getting the most out of your treatment.

ADHD medications can take as long as a month before they start to have an effect. This is why it is important to continue with psychosocial support, including CBT and mindfulness, once you have found the medication that is best for you.

Although not everyone with ADHD requires medication, it can be a game-changer for many people. It can allow people to return to work, take tests and lead a more productive life. It can even mean having a more stable home life.
