Stimulants are the most commonly prescribed medications for ADHD due to their proven efficacy in improving attention, focus, and reducing hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Examples include amphetamines (Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse) and methylphenidate (Ritalin, Focalin, Concerta).

If stimulants are not well-tolerated or ineffective, non-stimulant medications may be considered.
Examples include atomoxetine (Strattera), guanfacine (Intuniv), and clonidine (Catapres).
