Question
Hello. I'm a sophomore in college and I think I have ADHD. I took some online test and always score in the highest column. I don't know where to go from here though. Who do I talk to? What type of treatment is there for ADHD in adults? I read that stimulants are not approved for adults and that straterra can cause liver problems. Is there good treatment for adults?
If you suspect you might have ADHD, see a doctor who is an expert in ADHD.The treatment in adults is very similar to children in most cases. Stimulants are safe and very effective in adults but must be used correctly.I am aware of some anxiety regarding Strettera and liver problems but this is still speculative.
