    Adhd Intrusive Thoughts Treatment (Kayemess.Com) Treatments For Adults

    psychology-today-logo.pngAdults are able to benefit from many of the same therapies as children. These treatments include counseling, medication (psychotherapy) and life skills training. They can also involve the combination of these therapies.

    Stimulant Medicines

    These drugs work by increasing the amount of certain brain chemicals that help control attention and self-regulation. These include the chemical methylphenidate (marketed as Ritalin, Concerta) and stimulants from the amphetamine group including lisdexamphetamine (marketed as Adderall, Vyvanse).

    Stimulant Medications

    Stimulants are medications that stimulate the body's system and may result in greater mental alertness and increased physical activity. They include legal substances such as caffeine (added to tea and coffee) and nicotine, as well as prescription medications that treat attention deficit disorder (ADD), narcolepsy, and hyperactivity. In large doses, stimulants can result in over-stimulation and cause anxiety and heart palpitations, as well as hypertension as well as paranoia and aggression. Long-term use of stimulants can cause the dopamine receptors in the brain to malfunction and reduce feelings of satisfaction. The stimulants are available in pill form, liquids or patches that are applied to the skin. Cocaine, methamphetamines and amphetamines are stimulants that can be gotten illegally and abused.

    The drugs in this class are called central nervous system (CNS) stimulants. They function by increasing the amount of certain brain chemicals that boost concentration, reduce fatigue and increase alertness. Adults suffering from ADD and ADHD are treated first by these medications. These medications may be a quick-acting formula used in the morning or a longer-acting medicine that remains active in the body for most of the day, such as lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) or methylphenidate (Concerta Ritalin, Concerta).

    The health care team may also recommend psychosocial interventions, such as psychotherapy or education. It is crucial to track the effectiveness of medicines over time. This is an extremely difficult task.

    Non-stimulant Medicines that are not stimulants

    About 15%-30% of children do not respond to stimulant medication and this is probably to be the case for adults as well. Non-stimulant medications take longer to take effect and it can take up to several weeks before you feel any effects. However, they don't have the same risk of side effects as stimulants and can be a better choice in case you aren't able to take these medications or are concerned about addiction.
