Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

There are a lot of stimulant available in market for ADHD like amphetamine, methamphetamine or Lisdexamfetamine, methyphenidate etc. All are effective in controlling ADHD. I would suggest you Lisdexamfetamine due to its longer half life and once in a day dosage.

Thanks
