Many possibilities: Speak to a psychiatrist about this. There are many medications forADHD. Some will be very activating such as Adderall, (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) while there are others which may help focus but not be too stimulating. You and your doc can figure out what the best choice would be for you.

Depends: Usually medications in the stimulant family are prescribed as a first line treatment. Those include Vyvanse, (lisdexamfetamine) Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta, etc. Some doctors like to start with non-stimulants such as Strattera, Intuniv, Kapvay. It really depends on the individual, symptoms, and type of ADHD.
