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.ne of the large-scale studies that examined medication treatment for ADHD is called the Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (or MTA). The MTA included 579 elementary school boys and girls with ADHD.
