In reply to ADHD -what is the best drug??, posted by rainbowbrite on June 16, 2005, at 15:53:25
The best current discussion I have seen is in "Delivered from distraction."What is important is that the world of ADHD medication is changing each year. It's useful to work with a pdoc who keeps up on research and is willing to intelligently experiemnt with different meds.
As well as the fact that different meds affect people differently there is also cost, practicality, and other stuff. For example - the stimulants are controlled substances which means no prescription refills, see your doctor each month, etc. I am happy to take a med that causes side effects an dthenj treat the side effecst because I want the optimal symptom reduction. I'm sure others would just choose the alternative med that doesn't casuse the side effects.
> what seems to be the best drug for focussing and concentration. Im desparate for something atm.
