Treatment For ADHD

The most effective treatments for adding are medication and psychosocial therapy (psychotherapy). The medications contain stimulants such as methylphenidate, amphetamine, and Atomoxetine. They also include non medical treatment for adhd-stimulants like clonidine or Guanfacine.

Stimulant medication should not be used in patients with active substance abuse problems but they are an option for those who are in stable in remission. Combination therapy with antidepressants (particularly SSRIs) is also an option.

Stimulants

Stimulants boost dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain's synapses. This improves concentration and reduces impulses and hyperactivity. Most doctors prescribe medication from the stimulant class to treat ADHD. They can prescribe methylphenidate (Concerta or Ritalin), or amphetamines. They are both similar drugs. The type of medication prescribed will depend on a person's biochemistry as well as how well they react to the medicine. It can take five to seven days before the full effects of the medication are apparent. Improvements in concentration, improved memory, better sleep and a decrease in impulse control are all indications that the medicine is working.

Some of the adverse effects include a decrease in appetite, trouble sleeping, and an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. People with medical conditions, such as heart disease or high blood pressure, shouldn't take these medications. Stimulants are tightly controlled drugs with the potential for abuse. Only psychiatrists, paediatricians or neurologists, and in some circumstances general practitioners can prescribe them. You can get them in the form or pills, tablets, patches that go on the skin or liquids.

Children and adolescents who are taking stimulants are often afflicted with appetite issues and weight loss. When the dose is excessive, they could also develop the tics. In this situation the doctor will decrease the dose to stop the symptoms from getting worse.

About 70-80 percent of adults and children with adult adhd diagnosis and treatment are treated with stimulant medication. The majority of children and adolescents find that their symptoms improve after being treated. This is particularly true for those with teachers, parents or caregivers who be able to report improvements.

The early use of stimulants can reduce the risk of developing substance use disorders in later life. Wilens, Katusic, and colleagues81,82 and Biederman, et al83 discovered that treatment with stimulants reduces the risk of substance use disorders during the adolescent years. However the protective effect diminishes in the early years of adulthood.human-givens-institute-logo.png
