Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder management Stimulants are the most commonly prescribed medications for ADHD. The stimulant medications indicated to treat ADHD are methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta), dexmethylphenidate (Focalin), mixed amphetamine salts (Adderall),[16] dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine), lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse),[17] and in rare cases methamphetamine (Desoxyn).[18] Controlled-release pharmaceuticals may allow once daily administration of medication in the morning. This is especially helpful for children who do not like taking their medication in the middle of the school day. Several controlled-release methods are used.
