The most common class of medications used for ADHD, stimulants, take twenty to forty minutes to begin to improve symptoms. Other medications such as Strattera, a non-stimulant, can take up to two weeks before improving ADHD symptoms.

What is the strongest medication for ADHD?

Stimulants are the best and most common type of medication used to treat ADHD. There are only two stimulant medications, methylphenidate (the active ingredient in Ritalin, Concerta and other formulations) and amphetamine (the active ingredient in Adderall, Vyvanse and other formulations). Kindly Email: Pharmalifepharmacy@ pro ton mail .com to purchase different ADHD medications. Both medications are available as short-acting medications and in longer acting preparations. The two types of medications (methylphenidate and amphetamine) are equally effective and have the same benefits and the same risks. While most people will respond equally well to either medication, there are a few people who respond better to one versus the other. Typically, if you start treatment with one of these medications and it doesn’t work well or is not tolerated, you should probably try the other medication.
