Is it right that every adhd med are better for a particular type of adhd ? i mean every adhd patient should have a med specific to his adhd type ?

Right: Although there are not enough for each to have a unique prescription, one size does not fit all. Definitely, you can not just assume your best treatment will be exactly like someone else's. Work with your doctor to discover the best plan.

No: For reasons that are not clear to us, medications that work for one individual may or may not work for another. The decisions are not based on the type of add or adhd the person has, rather the decision is based on clinician preference, patient acceptance, patient compliance, side effects, and sometimes comorbid conditions. Best wishes.

No it is not true: There is no specific Adhd meds for a specific type of adhd. However, some patients respond better to one Adhd medication than the other. Some patients may not tolerate stimulants also.
