What medications will i be prescribed for adhd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Usually medications in the stimulant family are prescribed as a first line treatment. Those include Vyvanse, (lisdexamfetamine) Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta, etc. Some doctors like to start with non-stimulants such as Strattera, Intuniv, Kapvay. It really depends on the individual, symptoms, and type of ADHD.
