https://www.iampsychiatry.uk/adhd-treatment-for-adults/ Treatments For ADD - Drugs and Counselling Counseling and drugs are both effective treatment options for ADD. It is essential to try both to determine which one is more efficient. People with classic ADD tend to be inattentional and disorganized, as well being hyperactive. They lack blood flow in the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia. They also have low levels of dopamine. Treatment usually involves increasing the levels of dopamine. Stimulants Stimulants boost the body's systems. They are legal as prescription drugs, including amphetamines (Adder-all and Dexedrine), the methylphenidates (Concerta and Ritalin) and diet aids like Didrex, Bontril and Fastin and are also illegally used frequently mixed with other substances, like cocaine and methcathinone (crack). They can be taken as syrups, pills or liquids, or patches which are placed on the skin. They enhance concentration by increasing the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in brain synapses. They also reduce impulsivity, hyperactivity and help improve working memory. They are the most commonly prescribed medication for adults suffering from ADHD. They can trigger side effects such as decreased appetite, insomnia and a rise in heart rate or blood pressure. They may interact with certain medications and medical conditions. It is important to speak to your doctor about any concerns. Around 70 to 80 percent of people who take ADHD medication will experience reduced symptoms. Different people respond in a different way to the medication and the effects may not last for long. Some people aren't a fan of stimulants or can't tolerate their adverse effects. In this instance doctors will prescribe non-stimulant drugs. These medications aren't as efficient as stimulants but they can aid in improving attention, focus and control impulses. Doctors typically prescribe these drugs alongside stimulants to increase the effectiveness. Nonstimulant medications take longer
