Types of Medications
Once our ADHD clinician has recognized that treatment with medication is the best option, a choice between stimulants or non-stimulant medications must be made.
Taking patient history into account is important: when the patient has had an adverse reaction to a stimulant, or when stimulants are absolutely contraindicated, we must find another way to treat. Sometimes, a clinician might decide to prescribe non-stimulant medications instead. Non-stimulant medications use different active ingredients than stimulants but have similar effects on the symptoms of ADHD. Both stimulant and non-stimulant medications for ADHD are FDA-approved.
