Psychiatrist Dr. Edward Fruitman, M.D., Medical Director of Trifecta Health, explains the differences between ADD/ ADHD Medications: Adderall and Ritalin.

My name is dr. friedman i am an adult psychiatrist i treated adult attention deficit disorder patients in my office near wall street and broadway oh frequently my patients ask me how do i know what medicine to choose or do i notice use regular or adderall those seem to be the most frequently used medicines for adult attention deficit disorder oh well those are

Brand names of course of adderall which is no generic and stands for mixed impediment salts is one kind of medication and ritalin which is methylphenidate is a different kind of medicine but they belong in the same class of stimulants that are very useful for the adult attention deficit disorder usually the most helpful medication for a given patient the depends

On the patient agrees to take so in choosing adderall or versus ritalin it’s very important for me to know what is patience or attitude about the use of those medications and what kind of or previous history of those medications the patient had in general if a patient never took stimulants before i would recommend a small dose of ritalin or small dose of federal

Usually starting with along act in preparation look federal acts are ritalin sr if patient’s attention deficit disorder is complaining of very low motivation and disinterest and work while not a medicine that adderall may work somewhat better if a patient is concerned about being over stimulated or becoming irrationally exuberant on medicine then perhaps ritalin

Or methylphenidate should be tried first generally bose can be effective preparation and it is impossible to know the certainty exactly which medicines were better for a given patient the most important in finding the right medicine and the right regimen for a given patient is finding the right dose range because with stimulants there could be too much of a good

Thing sometimes small dose can work better and would be more effective for patient than a large dose what we’re hoping to achieve in treatment of adult attention deficit disorder finding a point where patient taking those medications can find peace and an opportunity to have time of quiet focus and concentration
