Since you asked, I'll give my 2 cents about ADHD medications (stimulants). Personally, what worked best for my boys was to start out with the short acting and generic Methylphenidate. With short acting you can better manage the dosing, pill size and shape, and being generic it can be cheaper to find the right medication and dose. But remember there is a large variety of stimulant medications available, and finding the right medication and right dose can be a challenge, so be patient.
