A member asked:
What is the most effective medication for treating adult adhd?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No Right Medication: The doctors here will shy away from any specific treatment recommendations. Especially when it comes to mental health. There are very many treatment options for adult add. But, first you have to have the right diagnosis and then the psychiatrist can parse out the right treatment plan for you.

No standout: Essentially all of the medications that work for children with adhd also work for adults. The decision of which to use depends on your individual circumstances: do you need treatment every day? How long during the day? What are the main symptoms? A wide array of options exist, so it should be possible for someone familiar with what's available to help find a treatment that meets your needs.
