Klarity Health connects you with experienced, licensed providers who specialize in ADHD treatment. Select your state to see available providers.
An ADHD medication is a reliable way to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms for the 4.4% of adults in the U.S. who have it Or the 5.4% of men who have ADHD and the 3.2% of women.
ADHD medications affect the levels of chemical messengers in the brain that regulate mood, attention, alertness, emotions, and motor function. People taking a medication often have improved motivation, better control over their mood, and more energy, among other benefits.
You can take an ADHD medication if you’re diagnosed with the disorder and meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved criteria for taking one. There are several different ADHD medications. Talk to your healthcare provider about which, if any, is right for you.
Learn more in the ADHD medication guide.
ADHD medications fall into 2 main categories: stimulants and non-stimulants.
Stimulant medication
Stimulant medications include amphetamine/dextroamphetamine-based medications like Adderall and methylphenidate-based meds like Ritalin. These medications stimulate the central nervous system (CNS) to promote cognitive function. They start working almost immediately and reach peak effectiveness within hours.
Many stimulant ADHD medications are controlled substances, meaning they have a potential for abuse and addiction if not taken as prescribed. While they’re the first-line treatment for ADHD symptoms, they may not be a good choice for some people.
Non-stimulant medication
If you can’t or don’t want to take stimulants, there are non-stimulant ADHD medications. Some can even be used alongside stimulants. Non-stimulants options include Qelbree (viloxazine) and Strattera (atomoxetine), which are FDA-approved to treat ADHD in adults.
Studies show non-stimulant ADHD medications can be as effective as some stimulants without the potential for addiction. But the active ingredient takes time to be effective. This means it may take a week or more to notice improved ADHD symptoms.
Like any medication, both stimulant and non-stimulant medications can have side effects, some serious. Before taking any medication, talk with a licensed provider, tell them about any medications you’re already taking, and share your medical history.
