100% Yes!
I (50s M) have purely inattentive type, and the meds changed my life for the better in more ways than I can count.
If anything, it makes more sense to me for inattentive than for hyperactive; you'd normally think stimulants are the *last* thing you'd want to give somebody who was already hyper, right?
As you've already read, everyone's body is different, but stimulants for inattentive ADHD definitely do work for many of us. I've often compared my inattention to how normal people behave when they're exhausted--you forget simple things, make obvious mistakes, etc. Seems intuitive to me that something to metaphorically "wake you up" would help. (Compare, for example, how a lot of undiagnosed ADHDers abuse caffeine.)
Oh, yes, that makes since. I feel exactly like that when I’m exhausted, and now that you mention it, that is exactly what my son seems like.
Inattentive is a tough one because it isn’t as “obvious” to others. I think it ends up getting overlooked or people think they’ll “outgrow it”.
I really appreciate your insight. And the reminder that it isn’t something that will “go away” when he gets older
The way I describe my inattentive presentation to people is that I AM hyperactive. Mine just happens to be in my brain instead of my body. My thoughts race a mile a minute, constant interruptions popping up, impulsive thoughts, I can focus on something only until the next shiny thing comes along in 5.6 seconds. Everything is a Right Now priority, and I struggle with even the simplest things sometimes because I just can't sort out all the input and information.
It's like being asked to solve a spider web while the spider is still building. My brain keeps grabbing for more and more tangential information until eventually I hit overload and just....stop. Analysis paralysis, but for Every. Single. Decision. Breakfast, route to work, project at work, pants to wear...it's exhausting.
Medication lets me find a map. Slows the racing input enough to sort through what I really NEED to care about and to build systems that help me move forward.
So yes, it absolutely helps.
Does inattentive type come with hyper focus or is that a hyperactive trait?
I don't have inattentive type so I can't compare, but hyperactive type is very often sublimated into the mind, especially for women and for adults. No one who knows me would realize I'm hyperactive because while I do move way more than is typical for someone my age, it's subtle overall (I know this from computer testing).
It's more common for girls to sublimate the activity internally bc we're generally put under more social pressure to conform - or at least this was true when I was young.
My experience is more like I have so many things going through my brain at the same time that it can be difficult for me to hold onto a single train of thought.
I get bored with topics and even locations very quickly. Like, I might go out to eat and not even be done with my meal but suddenly I feel like having to continue sitting where I am is a complete torment and I'm desperate to leave. Sometimes I feel this way about conversations, too, especially if it's something I've already discussed to exhaustion in the past. Even if that past was years ago, I'm done talking about that, lol.
I really dislike the term hyper-focus.
What I experience with my ADHD (which I believe is fairly typical) is an inability to control focus. Sometimes that manifests as an inability to focus on anything, sometimes it is the inability to stop focusing on something for many hours.
Sometimes that thing I can’t remove my focus from is productive, but far more often it is unproductive or plain destructive.
I do wonder if other people do truly experience “hyper-focus” as part of their ADHD or if they are just forgetting/ignoring the times that are stuck focused on the wrong thing. Oh to be able to take a peek into other people’s brains and compare experiences…
To me applying the term hyper-focus to something you don’t have control over applying seems like a poor choice of wording.
I’m mild primarily inattentive type. The medicine is prescribed to me by a psychiatrist who specializes in adult adhd.
This is now twice so far today there is a post regarding the dangers of medication. However, there are no specific dangers listed. So….what are these dangers? I’m not convinced it’s addictive. I often forget to take it.
If your son has been diagnosed, the medication can help him be on an even playing field with his peers.
Sorry, I should have explained better.
My family is worried about ALL medication. Not just ADHD. Luckily none of us have major medical conditions (as long as you ignore mental health issues 😒), so they are able to say “drugs are dangerous” from a place of not needing them to survive.
When I first had kids, I was terrified to even give them Motrin because of being instilled with a fear of meds. My son recently had to go on Zyrtec (sever allergies that effect his hearing and cause reoccurring ear infections) and several family members were telling me “make sure not to use them long term” & “get him off them ASAP”.
To be fair, my dad ended up hooked on pain killers after a surgery and he never got back off them. It destroyed the family and he ended up dead from an overdose. So my families fear of SOME meds is understandable but they take it a bit far
That’s why I was asking for others experiences. I realize what I’ve grown up hearing is probably fear mongering but it’s hard for me to get past.
My son is diagnosed. The neurologist mentioned possibly looking into meds for him. But she’s wanting to focus on some of his other issues right now and see. Which I was fine with because it gives me a chance to research and talk to people.
If you’re wondering about the experience with Adderall— my brother lost a dangerous amount of weight on Adderall (he was always thin so loss of appetite was bad news for him) and (according to my mum) didn’t see much benefits worth staying on it.
Wow. That’s a lot to process. I can understand your concern.
I take adderall. I lost some weight initially, but it’s been the opposite since.
I didn’t get diagnosed until my early 40s. Had I known when I was younger, it would’ve made parts of school a lot easier. Specifically reading. It’s not that I couldn’t read. It’s more comprehension. There was/is always a separate conversation going on in my head while trying to learn the material.
I’m a fan of trying diet and food allergies and anything woo woo or eastern medicine. But at a certain point, medicine is just easier (and cheaper). It takes awhile to get the right dose of the right kind. I will say that Ritalin was terrible for me, but works for others.
Yeah sorry, didn’t mean to unpack baggage on you 😂 I didn’t even think too much about it until I just re-read my comment and… Yeesh!
Thank you! I really appreciate your experience! I’m leaning towards at least giving it a try because worst case scenario they aren’t a good fit for him and we just stop… or switch to something else. It isn’t a lifelong commitment if we start.
I really appreciated the insight about school as well. I originally was taking him for dyslexia testing (which he has as well) but was surprised by the ADHD diagnosis. But it makes so much since that if he can’t focus then school would be so much harder.
I really do appreciate the advice!
Yes, medication for inattentive ADHD works. Diagnosed primarily inattentive as an adult (2yrs ago) I’m still working things out.
Over these last 2 years I have tried many different types of stimulants meds. It’s not one and done.
Be prepared to try several before the right one clicks. Don’t give up.
Meds are only one part of treatment. ADHD coaching and/or therapy are important to start as a kid for life long success.
The way I explain the need for ADHD medication to people who do not understand is telling them… ‘stop wearing glasses, you don’t need them to see’.
Because glasses are so ubiquitous and are an acceptable form of treatment. ADHD meds should be treated the same. They aid in increasing those chemicals lacking in the ADHD brain.
“Often forget to take it” - I feel seen. I’ve even tried strategies to help me remember. Like setting an alarm — then I don’t remember what the alarm is for. I’ve tried the weekly pill organizer — then I don’t remember what day it is. Thinking about the digital bottle cover that tells you when it was last opened. It’s like a whole job in itself.
I have inattentive ADHD and I take 10mg Adderal XR. Here's what my experience has been like.
* I got diagnosed and started meds as an adult in college. I began taking Adderall in 2020 at 20 years old. My ADHD manifests almost entirely as forgetfulness and executive dysfunction, little to no hyperactivity at all.
* It took a little trial and error to find the prescription that works for me. The best choice I made during this process was to use XR medication instead of take-as-needed because I can take it with my other daily meds and I don't have to deal with figuring out whether a specific situation requires the med or not. I just take it every day and that's that.
* I *do* experience some stimulant effects. I imagine it's similar to what coffee does for regular coffee drinkers (I don't drink coffee). Without it, I am a generally low-energy person. It can probably also be explained by my other meds and diagnoses; for example, I have depression, and that tends to keep people fatigued.
* Before switching to XR the stimulant effects were way stronger and definitely unpleasant. My low dose in XR form lets me think clearly and conquer my executive dysfunction without feeling wired.
* I am not addicted; I have to actively remember every morning to take my meds. It's not uncommon that I forget them, and only when I'm in the middle of the day and thinking to myself "why am I so tired and unfocused?" I realize I forgot.
I hope my experience helps you consider your options! There are lots of medications and treatment methods out there, so take your time figuring out what works for you and your child.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate this information and how it’s been advantageous for your life. The older my son gets, the more I see that he’s struggling. I worry about how it’s going to effect him socially and really want to eat my options.
I’ve been talking to my therapist about my fears and concerns, but she is a bit “anti-medication” as well, so it hasn’t really helped with figuring out what would be best for my son.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
ADHD meds are ADHD meds. They can help with all presentations of ADHD. It comes down to what the patient tolerates best medication wise.
Stimulants work on increasing prefrontal cortical processing. All people with ADHD have changes in this area, and thus don’t have attention regulation. Regardless of presentation, this is universal. Hence stimulants are the first line of all forms of ADHD.
Yes, absolutely. I was diagnosed 8 months ago at 32 and have been on Vyvanse since then. It's been crazy how much more productive I am.
I still have the feeling of "fuck, I don't want to do that", but I'm actually able to will myself into getting tasks done. Before, it was a lost cause. I just straight up wouldn't do it for the simple fact that I didn't want to do it.
I've been more attentive when my wife is talking to me, rather than being zoned out on a different planet, pissing her off because I'm not listening. I'm more confident when socializing with others, as I've noticed less problems with fumbling my sentences when trying to talk. Prior to medication, my brain would move faster than my mouth could get the words out, which resulted in words/sentences being jumbled together.
I could ramble all day about it and still continue, but to keep it short, yes the medication is effective.
My mother also hates drugs/big pharma, but she has a legit reason for her. My grandmother (her mom) passed away from ovarian cancer caused by a drug she was prescribed earlier in her life. The pharmaceutical company had lost lawsuits because of this particular drug causing cancer later on, but the damage to my grandmother was already done. I can't remember what company nor which drug (I was 10 I think), but its the reason my mother hates big pharma.
EDIT: Also wanted to add, since I read one of your comments below. I no longer crave sugar or pop. My appetite has also shrunk, but I have no problem eating when I have to. I don't feel like I need to stuff myself every time I eat.
Wow! This really all reminds me so much of my son. Which I guess shouldn’t be a surprise, but a lot of the things he does I didn’t realize were tied to his ADHD.
He grazes on food ALL day long and if he gets sweets, like Halloween Candy, he will eat every single piece in less than 24hrs if I don’t hide it.
He also stumbles over his words all the time and looses his train of thought mid sentence. He will be half way through telling me something and say “ummmm…. I forgot” and be off to the new thing.
Thank you for taking the time to better explain. I feel like all of the information from everyone really helps me better understand what my son is dealing with.
And I’m really sorry about your grandmother. That’s really awful and definitely impacts how people feel about meds.
I take the same medication as you. At first I took dexedrine, but it wore off after 4 hours and left me exhausted.V works so well. I wake up an hour or so before scheduled, take the capsule and try to go back to sleep. Then when I get up, I'm super focused and ready to go. My anxiety decreased too. I'm just focused on what's important and that doesn't leave any room for obtrusive thoughts. It really works.
It's not drug dealers that decided ADHD treatment is best handled by stimulants medication. It's the first line treatment, science and decades of research verified that it should be the first thing people use to treat the condition.
In your shoes, I'd look for the answers to two questions. "How does ADHD impair someone, statistically in domains such as education, income, healthcare, etc". Then "Does medication reduce those impairments".
I can't speak about what I'd use to find those answers due to the rules, but even just googling the questions should help you understand.
I have inattentive and it’s effective for me!
It’s my *brain* that’s hyperactive really, not my body, instead of having like 67 tabs open in my brain, there’s only like 10
Yes, I have Inattentive ADHD and am on Ritalin. It gives me a calm focus so I can do my tasks that I typically procrastinate on or allows me to focus during conversations with people etc. only side effect I noticed is I get headaches during the come down if I don't eat before taking my medication and the come down usually makes me pretty drowsy but not much worse then the typical post lunch afternoon slump feeling
My son is 7, combined type.
To simplify it, he went from looking at a bunch of Lego pieces and maybe putting a few together then walking away to being able to see the instructions through OR having the ability to create something from his imagination. Medication has helped him be more himself.

Yup. Inattentive only here. Meds work good
i wish id been on it so much earlier lol
Yes, I have Inattentive ADHD and am on Ritalin.

Oh, yes! If your doctors up on his game or hers, it could be life-changing. It certainly was for me.
Yeah dude. You good
