These drugs help boost and regulate levels of certain brain chemicals called neurotransmitters that are crucial to the brain's ability for concentration and manage impulses, plan ahead and keep on track with tasks. They can also ease symptoms that affect daily functioning, like disorganization and problems maintaining relationships. There are a variety of stimulant drugs. Amphetamine as well as methylphenidate are the two most common stimulant medications. These drugs can be taken as patches, liquids or pills. They are also able to be combined with psychotherapy. Adults with ADHD are usually prescribed long-acting tablets, which release the medication slowly. These tablets are taken only once a daily. These medications are believed to be more effective than the short- and intermediate-acting versions which require users to take their medication three or four times a day.
