The most common treatments for add are medication and psychosocial therapy (psychotherapy). The medications contain stimulants like methylphenidate, amphetamine and atomoxetine. They may also be non-stimulants, such as clonidine and guanfacine.

Most doctors who treat adhd in adults prescribe medication from the stimulant class to treat treating inattentive adhd. They might prescribe methylphenidate (Concerta, Ritalin) or amphetamines, which are very similar to each other. The kind of medicine prescribed is based on the biochemistry of each person and how they react to it. It could take up to seven days for the full effects of a drug to become apparent. Increased concentration, improved memory, better sleep and a decrease in impulse control are all indications that the medication is working.
