Treatment is more than one prescription
The National Institute of Mental Health describes medication and therapy as the most effective treatments for ADHD, often in combination. Stimulants are the most common type of medication, and non-stimulant medications are sometimes prescribed (NIMH (opens in a new tab)). Sleep, anxiety, mood and daily structure are part of the plan too, because they change how well any treatment works.
Options are explained with their purpose, likely benefits and tradeoffs, and you choose together. The Journal's guide to ADHD evaluations covers the non-stimulant medications in more detail, with sources.
How controlled medications are handled
- Prescribed only when clinically appropriate after a complete evaluation, and generally not at the first visit.
- The Arizona prescription monitoring program is checked before every controlled prescription.
- One controlled medication at a time. Periodic lab work or an in-person evaluation may be required.
- Refills: request at least 72 hours before you run out, at no charge. Early refills are not provided. If it has been more than three months since your last visit, a follow-up is needed first.
