The single most effective treatment for the symptoms of ADHD is stimulant medication. Stimulants have been used more than 50 years, and became standard treatment for children with ADHD in the 1980s. Millions of children have been successfully treated with stimulants in many countries. Approximately 1-2 children in every 100 are prescribed stimulant medication.

The stimulants available in Australia are methylphenidate (eg.Ritalin 10, Ritalin LA, Attenta, Concerta) and dexamphetamine. These two medications have similar actions and side effects. Another type of medication called atomoxetine (Strattera) has also become available recently to treat the symptoms of ADHD.
