ADHD Medications
Two types of Stimulants
Methylphenidate (Concerta, Ritalin, Metadate, Methylin, Focalin) type Stimulant
Amphetamine Salts (Adderall, Vyvanse, Dexedrine, Dextrostrat) type Stimulants
Non Stimulant Drugs
Strattera (Atomoxetine) - A NRI - it affects the norepinephrine and dopamine levels between the brain synapses
Alpha 2 Agonists drugs Intuniv (Guanfacine) and Kapvay (Clonidine) these drugs are anti-hypertensive drugs (blood pressure meds) that trigger a neurotransmitter receptor called the Alpha 2 receptor (Alpha 2 receptor can be triggered by norepinephrine
The Five Delivery Mechanisms (The Five Ps)
Pill
Pump
Pellet
Patch
Pro Drug
Note there are other meds that are used OFF LABEL for ADHD. The meds listed above are the first line treatments, and you only use the off label meds if the person can't tolerate the side effects of the primary meds, or if they do not work for some reason.
TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR!!!

What will work for one kid won’t necessarily work for another. That is such a true statement! Vyvanse made my kid so moody in the afternoon. We changed to Concerta and so far, it’s been so good!
So true! Vyvanse made me very depressed. Adderall XR didn’t. Interesting how every body is different.
I wish my doctor understood that.. he thinks they're all the same and all do the same thing. Maybe so but everyone reacts differently. So annoying 🙄
It may or may not have been due to it wearing off early too! I’m on a low dose and when it wears off and I’m not done with what I need to do I get irritated, not because the drug itself, but because I’m not done and I’m back to not having a functioning brain. Just something to consider! I hope y’all find his or her “perfect match”!
Abd concerts made me super grumpy in late afternoon 😊 each person needs to find the right thing per person
I was diagnosed with add about 3-4 months ago, and I've been taking vyvanse ever since. Took about a month to find the right dosage, but it's mind blowing how well it works for me to improve my lifestyle!
And the only side effect I've experienced is an increased heart rate (prior heart-rate: 60-65, after taking medication: 70-75).
+FPKMASSACRE another thing here is that you HRV probably will decrease a little. and its also possible you will experience longer QT-intervals, as this was a common sideeffect in the methylphendiate group. However, this should not matter much unless youre older, like 45-50 and up. . i had a completely opposite reaction than you though, my HR went down and my HRV went up. (which indicates a stronger response in your autonomic nervous system). in my case then by using elvanse(vyvanse) my general health improved, bloodpressure and stress levels actually decreased. But this is in general and perhaps not long term.
Which does do you take and how long do it last?
jcmangan Vyvanse 20mg when i have breakfast, and another 10mg pill at noon
@God is Healer yep. Multiple doses aren’t exactly unusual, same with AXR, but the second is, or should, be a lower or much lower dose. It’s possible for it to be the same dose, but that would likely mean it’s a lower overall total milligram ingestion. I’m sure there’s a few out there with some less-than-believable daily prescription routines, though.
vyvanse works the best for me but of course it’s so damn expensive 😭😭
my son was put on Guanfacine in 2020 & it has helped him so much. thank you for helping me understand why
I love this man!!!
wish i had him as a doc lol
Thank you for what you do DR. Barkley.
Vyvanse is gret. Ritalin cleans out my mental room too much and leaves me with blank walls, but Vyvanse just... lets me do stuff.
I take vyvanse and I love it
Some damn good insights helped me a lot
I was diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago at the age of 29. My problem is that I also have OCD and panic disorder, so stimulants may not be a good option for me. One good option would be atomoxetin, but it's not available in my country, so fuck me, I guess.
I also suffer from panic disorder, OCD, and ADHD. I have used Addreal XR, and I have noticed that when I take it, I experience fewer intrusive thoughts and panic episodes. I used to share your belief that stimulants would likely lead to more panic attacks. However, I found that the toughest years I had to manage with OCD and panic disorder were the ones I spent abstaining from medicine for a year. Personally, I realize that when I am taking my medicine, I'm way to focus on whats in front of me to get intrusive thoughts/ panic attacks as much. I hope this help anyone else with this same diagnosis soup.

How and why would a two year old be given stimulant medication? I can't imagine. I'd love to read about it.
Which category is Strattera? He only introduced stimulants? Or did I miss it?
And I guess my ADHD doc is not an expert. He said all those drugs are the same and work the same, they just have different names and if someone says that there's a difference then that's only due to placebo effect...
Is there a list of all available ADHD drugs where they categorize them into the 5P system?
did you find anything?
@@yolakalemowa6519 didn't really research and if I did, I forgot (it'S been 2 years). Strattera is definitely a long release non-stimulant. Here's an (incomplete) overview: habitica.fandom.com/wiki/The_Keep:ADHDers_Guild#Overview_-_Common_Medications_and_their_Characteristics or www.additudemag.com/adhd-medication-for-adults-and-children/
Dr Russell Barkley's book Taking Charge of Adult ADHD is a fantastic resource for the types and brands of medications. Has them all categorised and how long each one lasts (standard release vs extended release).
In my experience medication is given to children from a place of making the child placid/compliant/quiet for the sake of adults, and not to improve the child's symptoms or life. They CAN- but that's not the intention in prescribing or managing which limits the benefit. Especially if they're in an environment devoid of a point of performance. If you put a kid on meds and then isolate them, then even if the meds work perfectly... what has been accomplished?
I have been disclosed with ADHD at 52 a few months ago I also have high Blood Pressure just thinking of going running i got scared and phoned 111 today now its 151 syc I have been eating high salt this past few day and been slacking for about 6 days without running because legs hurt and feet I don't take medication as needs to come down before I take the pills. That even scares me.
High blood preacher? You said it twice and frankly it sounds like a good rap name.
@@Buttsac read it Blood Pressure. lol thx for letting me know this how ADHD WORKS.
hey there... hope you're doing well 2 years later? care to update on your situation? I'm waiting to be diagnosed at 30 years old now
What about masking?
My son is 4yo and diagnosed with ADHD. Should I have him on medication already?
No too young
I would never Medicate my preschooler 😅.
Do beta blockers like Metropolol help adhd?
I take that for my anxiety, but it doesn't do anything for my ADHD. For that I have Concerta
@@alias201 i started taking concerta and started feeling numb and robotic. Does that happen with you?
@@Lazymath007_ no, not at all, but you aren't the first person who's told me that happens to them. My brain feels quieter, which is a good thing. I can blur out noise at will now. I feel much less anxious (still have the propranolol just in case, but I don't have panic attacks nearly as much as I used to) and I don't get trapped in my body when I have to do something boring, I just... Do it. I also don't forget what I'm saying while I'm saying it, or what I'm doing while I'm doing it. The best way I can describe it is that I can tune my brain into one channel, without all the other channels blaring too. I don't feel numb and robotic, I've never coped with life as well as I do now.
Can you tell me more about the numbness? Does that affect happiness and sadness alike?

RELIGIOUS LEADERS SHOULD BE SHARING THIS TYPE OF MESSAGES TO OUR OLDER ONES WHO THINK THE YOUNGER ONES HAVE LOST THEIR WAY
Why are these doctors so afraid of operating our brains to fix this ADHD problems, and why are they afraid to do a brain scan before giving us any stimulant so they can know which med will help us the most.
They don't have the knowledge to do that yet.
This sucks man. We have to suffer from this all our lives. I have been off my meds for 2 weeks and already going crazy with anxiety attacks
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you find what works for you quickly!
Dude what will work is getting it back already. Psychiatrist taking forever to prescribe it again. I am mad.
Bro, how are you doing now?
How in good conscience can you give psycho active drugs to a 2 year. Their behavior is probably fine. They are 2! That alone destroys trust that this is an ethical doctor.
Strattera doesn't work... I lost confidence in this speaker
ES Not the speaker’s fault, some drugs work for people and some don’t. I took adzenys and focalin, did nothing, then I took Vyvanse and it worked great.
@@silence6605 I first tried concerta And it wasn't really good, but now on Vyvanse it's a whole lot better
Strattera works for me
Stop medicating with the intention of having a quiet, obedient populace. I am 44...was diagnosed as ADHD as a young child. I am still unmedicated and though I was difficult for others when young I am now successful and independent.
Did you watch the rest of the lecture? Because that's not what this man is saying. The goal isn't being quiet or obedient. Watch the rest of the lecture before making judgements like this.
@@PokeRedstone It's not what Dr. Barkley is saying- but he's a clinician and a researcher. The front line- teachers, parents, school counselors- are mainly concerned with how the child's behavior affects *them*, not the child. It's not Dr. Barkley's goal- but it's the goal of SCHOOLS and that is a cultural and political problem that needs to be addressed. A major part of Dr. Barkley's practice is helping parents navigate this issue!
Barkley says these medications work 80% of the time. That's what big pharma pay him to say. In reality it is around 40-50%.
Where’s your proof?
This is easily disputed by looking it up online. Shut up
That's hard to evaluate because half the kids diagnosed with ADHD don't have it. He covers Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome in an earlier video and specifically calls it out as not responding to medication, and how it's forced to be lumped in with ADHD by DSM limitations.
That proves ADHD is massively overdiagnosed. You have to ask yourself why. I can. Big Pharma, hype, and DSM widening the scope of what it is.@@Plasmafox
Hi tech drug dealer
Drug pusher in a suit
We are told lost keys is often ADHD. Or blurting out what a teacher says. Or leaving a seat. Or running around. Then we are told people can just sit there and stare into space is ADD or ADHD. Or be quiet and do nothing!!!
This is getting f**king bizarre isn’t it? A disorder is on one hand people running up and down, climbing, bouncing off the walls, shouting, then it is people stealing cars and stabbing others, or shooting others, then it is people who sit there and space out, lose keys, do nothing and are quiet!!!
Does this make any sense?
We are told people with it are creative and inventive.
So why is that a bad thing?
Then Barkley claims “We haven’t been doing a good job with preschoolers. They are the most under-diagnosed, under-identified, under-treated group of children in the population with mental illness, and this is what got the media so excited”.
What’s got you excited Barkley is the big bucks big Pharma have waved in front of you whilst more kids are diagnosed with Childhood Bipolar and drugged and perhaps killed like Rebecca Riley. Two year olds never have, and don’t and never will have mental illness.
Finally, Barkley said in a speech regarding stimulants with ADHD drugs “If we had a drug for autism that did for that disorder what this drug does for AD/HD we would use it in a heartbeat.”… Well a lot of people are happy being Autistic. It is society and the likes of Barkley who have the problem.
I think that shows the insensitivity and callousness of the man.
Barkley speaks of his desire to drug people with Autism to get rid of it just as he is a drug fanatic for people with so-called ADHD. Barkley and others like him want a world of robots, of gray, drab, conformity where everybody behaves the same, acts the same, thinks the same.
A world full of Russell Barkley’s.
Now how scary and horrifying would that be?
Pass me the drugs!!!
I want to get rid of the world of Russell Barkley and his ilk.
Let’s sum Barkley up.
He believes in drugging children with Amphetamines.
He takes big pharma money.
He drugs children to keep them quiet.
He exaggerates the benefits of drugs and downplays their side effects.
He got a woman fired because she warned too many kids were being diagnosed and drugged.
He is allegedly arrogant, abrasive and a control freak.
I think we are looking at a sociopath here.
That’s my diagnosis of Barkley.
Well that’s how some people diagnose ADHD on live TV shows such as the Revolution.
