Sarah Safranek, MLIS. Stimulant medication therapy is the most effective treatment for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, producing significant improvements in symptoms and modest improvements in academic achievement (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, based on multiple randomized controlled trials [RCTs]).

These stimulant medications â like Ritalin (methylphenidate) or Adderall (an amphetamine) â are commonly prescribed, well-tolerated, act quickly (usually soon after a person takes them), and in most people, have few side effects.
