What are some better adhd medications?

Different people...: ...Respond differently, but at this point vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) seems to offer efficacy and relatively lower abuse potential compared to other meds.

Commonly used meds: the most commonly used medications are methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) and amphetamines (Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) and Vyvanse). They are generally equal in benefit, but some respond better to one than another.
