Often ADHD: Medications are used for school or work situations and may not always be used on weekends unless the symptoms interfere with doing weekend activities (like homework assignments!) consult with the prescribing physician to decide. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also helpful.

Treatment with Meds: If you had an evaluation for ADHD and it was positive, the next thing that you MUST do is get appropriate treatment. This begins with a trial of stimulant medication. There are two first-line medications for the treatment of ADHD and those are Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, etc.) & Dextroamphetamine (Adderall, etc.). The dosing needs to sufficiently robust so that you get full-day effects.
