Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Adult ADHD may be treated with stimulant medications such as vyvanse, adderal, concrrta as well as other racemic mixture of these medications. In addition non stimulant mefication such as atomoxetine, guanfacine help individuals with ADHD.

Having said this some weaker molecules such as wellbutrin can help persons with adult adhd. In mild cases, CBT could be good as well as safe option as it helps in adhd without having any side effects.
