Many of the research trials which have been done on ADD/ADHD medication have been done on children and teens. However, in recent years, there is a growing recognition that adults with ADD/ADHD need good treatments as well.

There have been many trials done in the past 5-10 years which evaluate the different ADD/ADHD medications on how they work for adults with this condition. Overall, it is safe to say that the medicines which work for kids and teens also work for adults.

There are data now that: Concerta works for adults with ADD/ADHD, Adderall XR works for adults with ADD/ADHD, Vyvanse works with adults with ADD and ADHD, Strattera works for adults as well. There are other preparations which have also been found to help adults.

One of the biggest issues with adults with ADD/ADHD is how long the day can be for an adult. By this, I mean that the responsibilities of adults start early in the day – often with helping kids get up and out the door. Then, an adult has to go to work and function productively for many hours. After the work day, there are many home responsibilities, which can include – making meals, shopping, helping with homework, housework/cleaning, bath time, getting kids to bed, etc. Then, an adult may actually have some paper work or bills to pay at the end of the day.

This is why it is so important for adults with ADD/ADHD to have long acting medication. If an ADD/ADHD medication wears off after 8 hours, this is often just not helpful enough for an adult with ADD/ADHD. So, in general, it is better for an adult with this condition to ask his/her doctor for a longer acting medicine.
