These medications boost and balance neurotransmitters, which are brain chemicals.<br /><br />Non-stimulant medications like antidepressants and atomoxetine can be prescribed when stimulants aren't suitable for the patient because of other health problems or side effects. These medications have a slower effect than stimulants, and can reduce impulsivity and lack of attention.<br /><br />Stimulants<br /><br /><br /><br />Stimulants increase brain neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine. This improves concentration and decreases impulsivity as well as hyperactivity. These drugs are the most common treatment for ADHD in children and adults. There are many brands of stimulant medication each with its own side effects and benefits. Most people respond better to long-acting drugs, which build up within the body over time. This helps reduce the "ups and downs" caused by fluctuating medication levels that can cause symptoms to become worse as the drug is worn off. The FDA has approved a number of ADHD treatment options such as methylphenidates (including Ritalin and Concerta) and amphetamines.<br /><br />Non-stimulants<br /><br />There are also non-stimulant medicines that can be used to treat adult adhd, though they might take longer to kick in. These medications are referred to as norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, also known as alpha-2 adrenergic antagonists. Typically, they are prescribed for high blood pressure but have been used "off-label" to treat ADHD in adults and children for many years. Since they don't affect the epinephrine receptors in the same way as stimulants, they are less likely to cause serious adverse effects or addiction. These medications work for up 24 hours and can be taken regularly to decrease the risk of impulsivity.<br /><br />Some patients with ADHD have difficulty to tolerate stimulants due to their side effects. In these cases doctors may prescribe antidepressants in conjunction with stimulants to lessen adverse effects. These include tricyclic antidepressants as well as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) which include imipramine, Tofranil and nortriptyline, (Aventyl and Pamelor). Antidepressants usually have more complicated side effects than stimulants and are usually used only when other medication isn't helpful.<br /><br />Exercise and diet may be helpful in treating ADHD. All adults should eat healthy and balanced meals, but those with ADHD are especially in need of it. A healthy diet can help improve concentration, decrease the impulsive behavior, and decrease cravings for food. People suffering from ADHD should consult a doctor before making any changes to their diet or eliminating all foods.<br /><br />Counseling<br /><br />Adults with ADHD can benefit from psychological counseling or therapy. This type of therapy can help them learn strategies to manage their issues and can help them improve their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that has been shown to be effective for adults suffering from ADHD. CBT is designed to change negative thinking patterns and replace them with more positive ones. <a href="https://barrettmacias76.livejournal.com/profile">long-term effects of untreated adhd in adults</a> and family therapy can also be beneficial for people with ADHD.<br /><br />Self-help strategies, like improving sleep routines and limiting the consumption of caffeine can also help to reduce ADHD symptoms. Individuals suffering from ADHD should talk to their primary care physicians about referrals to a specialist. A psychiatrist or therapist who has had experience treating adults with ADHD may be able to assist patients in finding the best combination of treatments. They can provide assistance and advice on managing ADHD at home, at school or on the job. They can assist parents and spouses better understand how to communicate with children who suffers from ADHD or how to manage the challenges that come with living with ADHD.<br /><br />
