is there an adhd medication better than strattera for adults with some adhd?

There are currently many different medications on the market to treat symptoms of ADHD. The majority of these medications are stimulants. Strattera is the only non-stimulant medication currently approved to treat symptoms of ADHD.

Although many of the medications are stimulants and work in similar ways, there is no "better" medication. Since people metabolize medications differently, each person may react differently to the same medication. That means, while some people may find one medication to be very effective in controlling symptoms of ADHD, other people may find the medication to work marginally or not at all. For these people, one of the other ADHD medications may work better.

In addition, symptoms of ADHD can be different based on the individual. While one person may struggle with inattention, another may find impulsiveness or hyperactivity to interfere with their daily lives. Based on the individualization of symptoms, treatment must also be based on the specific symptoms of the person being treated. This includes the type and dosage of medication used.

Because of this, finding the correct medication, and the correct dosage, is sometimes a matter of trial and error. Although this process can be frustrating for people with ADHD, it is sometimes necessary to determine the best treatment. Some people have tried numerous medications, at numerous dosages, before finding the most effective treatment.
