Many patients who are depressed do not respond well to medication and could be able to benefit from therapy. Treatments that are most effective in reducing the symptoms of ADHD seem to boost and balance levels of specific neurotransmitters in the brain. The stimulants methylphenidate and amphetamine are often prescribed. Medicines Many of the medications used to treat ADHD in children can also be used on adults. The dosages and side effects differ. The doctor will take a look at the medical history, the family health history and other conditions of an individual to determine which drug is the best for them. The most commonly used ADHD medication is a stimulant. It works by altering the levels of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. Stimulants such as methylphenidate or dextro-amphe (commonly called Adderall) increase the availability of these neurotransmitters, which can improve focus and decrease aggression and impulsivity. These stimulants are available in different forms, such as liquids, skin patches and chewable tablets. These long-acting stimulants are preferred because they improve patient compliance, and more consistent, long-lasting improvement of symptoms. It is important to remember that co-existing conditions like depression and anxiety disorders can alter the effectiveness of ADHD medications. Therefore, it is recommended that these psychiatric issues be treated first, and medication be used as a second measure. Medications that are used to treat comorbid mood disorders include bupropion, atomoxetine and tricyclic antidepressants (Wilens 2004). Some patients might experience a "rebound effect" in which their ADHD symptoms worsen aft
