Is there an easy way to compare the main medicines for ADHD?

Download a handy summary chart comparing the main medications for ADHD e.g. names, how they work, doses, how long they take to work, some side effects, how long to take and how to stop.

Alternatively you can read the chart now in the window below. Use the controls at the bottom of the window to navigate through the chart and magnify the information. The 'Download', 'Print' and 'Fullscreen' links at the top of the window are particularly helpful.
