How long does it take for ADHD medication to start working on an adult?


medication such as Ritalin, Adderall, etc.

Ritalin/Adderall usually works within 30 - 45 minutes after taking the first dose. Changes don't take 2 - 4 weeks like other medications. Changes are usually seen much faster than other medications. If you have not seen changes from your ADHD medication within 2 - 4 weeks I would let the doctor know because maybe you would either need an adjustment or change in medication.
