How many weeks does it take ADHD medication to start working on an adult?


medication such as Ritalin, Adderall, etc.

You will probably notice an effect in the first day. Medications like Ritalin and Adderall are stimulants and take effect right away. This is in contrast to anti-depressants, which can take weeks to build up in your system. With ADHD medications, at first you may have some trouble getting to sleep at night, but you will probably adjust after a few days. If you continue to have trouble getting to sleep, you might need a lower dose. Be sure to report all effects to your doctor.

You should see some results as quickly as two weeks but will not really have the full effect for a month. Hang in there and give it some time to work. These types of medication work on the brain and you have to allow it time to do the job it is designed for.
