Simulants: Most of us medicate ourselves with caffeine. Some have to use illegal drugs such as amphetamines. Students often use both as well as prescribed drugs and herbal treatments. All such treatments have risk for cardiac side effects and difficulty with sleep. Fancy treatments include adderall, strattera, focalin, (dexmethylphenidate) concerta. This is big business and big profit for the drug companies.

Stimulants are still: The safest & most effective. The two stimulants, amphetamine & methlyphenidate, come in long, short & medium-acting delivery systems. One form is the active half of the mph molecule. Other are mixed amphetine salts; & mas + a lysine molecule. They differ in timing of onset of action, peak effect, & duration of action. Non-stimulants atomoxetine & Guanfacine are given daily & don't "wear off.".
