How is Adult ADHD Best Treated?
 

Treatment usually requires psychostimulants such as Strattera, Metadate CD, Concerta, Ritalin, Focalin, Dexedrine,  Adderall or Adderall XR. Wellbutrin (bupropion hydrochloride) also marketed as Zyban for stop smoking appears helpful.  Other things don't seem to work, although there are many people trying to sell things that they believe help.

Education to help understand all of the implications of ADHD, and learn adequately about the medication is also very helpful.

Adults can benefit from counseling to deal with many issues that have been created by the ADHD. For examples, career issues may need to be discussed. Help with marriage or relationship issues may also be needed.  And self esteem is often damaged from ADHD.
