There has been disagreement about the use of medications to Attention Deficit Disorder. Because there are different type thought about ADHD. If we believe that it is genetic then we use some natural therapy and low dose of medicine but if we believe that it is a disease then we should take strong medicine as Ritalin.

If medication be necessary, it should be followed closely. Small changes in timing and size of doses can give more positive result. The commonly given ADHD medicines are Ritalin, Adderall and Concerta. Ritalin is very popular and strong medicine which can be quite helpful if prescribed in the right context.

There are 4 more popular and effective medicine for ADHD is:

•methylphenidate (Ritalin)
•dextroamphetamine
•pemoline
•Amphetamines.

The medicine that is also helpful in treatment of ADHD is Tricyclic antidepressants. The effects produced by this medicine occur quickly, and parents and doctor often observe an improvement in the patient. But all of these have side effects. These medicines produce adverse side effects, if the teens have simultaneous symptoms of anxiety or depression. Sometimes to change in dosage, brand or type of medicine become very useful and reduce the side effects.

One trouble with medications for ADHD is that they are most frequently prescribed for teens, which typically will not be able to exactly report side effects. The commonly side effects of these medicines are:

•Decreased or increase appetite.
•weight loss

If medicine is still not working as predictable, it may be time to re-examine the diagnosis. It can be represent other disorders at the same time with ADHD. Medical illness may be possible as a psychiatric condition.
