Treatment of Add

Treatment of add usually involves psychosocial and medication. The medications used to treat adhd for ADHD may include stimulants, such as methylphenidate and amphetamine compounds or non-stimulant drugs like atomoxetine (Strattera) and bupropion (Wellbutrin) and tricyclic antidepressants. If you have a history of mood instability and mood stabilizing drugs such as Clonidine (Catapres) and guanfacine(Kappvay) could be prescribed.

Stimulants

Stimulants are drugs that act on the central nervous system to increase alertness and energy. They could be prescribed drugs, like amphetamines or dextroamphetamines. They could also be illegal substances such as cocaine. They can be taken in tablets or crushed, snorted and sucked, or mixed with liquid to inject into bloodstreams. If they are misused, stimulants can cause overstimulation that may cause anxiety, jitters, paranoia, headaches, stomach cramps, and even aggression. Long-term use of stimulants may cause dependence and addiction.

Prescription stimulants are used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (Adhd Symptoms and Treatment) and narcolepsy. They are effective by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels at brain synapses, improving concentration and decreasing fatigue. These drugs can boost mood, reduce anxiety, and aid in weight loss for some people.

The medications Ritalin and Adderall are both considered stimulants. These medications can be prescribed by doctors to treat ADHD and Narcolepsy. They can boost alertness and decrease the tendency to be impulsive. These medications are low-risk of addiction and should be taken in accordance with the prescription of your doctor.

There are a variety of non-stimulant medications available to treat adhd symptoms and treatment, but these medicines require a longer time to begin working, and they don't work like stimulants do. Certain of these medications, such as atomoxetine (Provigil) aren't controlled substances, and are therefore at less risk of dependence or abuse.

What are the symptoms of a Stimulant Use Disorder?

The dependence on stimulants may be psychological or physical. Psychologically dependent stimulants feel an "need" and are unable to perform without the drug. Those who are physically dependent on stimulants find themselves experiencing withdrawal symptoms when they stop using the drug.

Children who are treated with stimulants are less likely to develop addiction later on. However the protective effect diminishes as adolescents become adults.

What are the signs of abuse?

Some people use stimulants for weight loss or to boost concentration, while others use them recreationally. Students and athletes at colleges are frequently known to use stimulants prescribed by doctors to boost performance. Parents and teenagers should be watching their children to ensure they are taking only the medication as prescribed by a doctor. Children who have prescriptions could be tempted to sell or share their medication.
