Several : There are two classes of stimulant. Amphetamine based and Ritalin based. There are numerous medications in each category from Ritalin to concerta to vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) to daytrana and so on. There are also nonstimulant medications like stratera and intuniv that can be effective as well.
