Q.  What is the standard medication used to treat ADHD?

A. Careful medication management is important in treating a child with ADHD. For methylphenidate (Ritalin®), the usual dosage range is 5 to 20 mg given two to three times a day. The dose for amphetamines (Dexedrine® and Dextrostat® and Adderall®) is one-half the methylphenidate dose. Dosage requirements do not always correlate with weight, age or severity of symptoms in an individual patient. Dosages may need to be increased during childhood with increased lean body weight and decreases may be necessary after puberty. Different doctors use these medications in slightly different ways.
