Medications used in treating stimulant substance use disorder primarily include options like bupropion, which can help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. While there are currently no FDA-approved medications specifically for stimulant use disorders like cocaine and methamphetamine addiction, researchers are exploring other options, including the use of certain anticonvulsants and behavioral therapies in combination with medication. Additionally, support from counseling and psychosocial interventions plays a crucial role in effectively managing this disorder.
What else can I help you with?
If you have an anxiety disorder and ADD will ADD medication make the anxiety worse?
It can, but it might not. ADD medications in the "stimulant" category--e.g. methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta, Focalin) and Adderall--while excellent medications for attention deficit disorder, can make anxiety symptoms worse. Strattera, an ADD medication not in the "stimulant" category, usually does not worsen anxiety symptoms. In fact, it might even improve them. On the other hand, there are excellent anti-anxiety medications available. So it would make sense to treat the anxiety at the same time as you're treating the ADD. Then both problems are solved.
