Yes!: Besides the stimulants, we have 3 non-stimulants which are indicated for the treatment of adhd: strattera (atomoxetine, a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor); Kapvay (an extended release form of clonidine); and Intuniv (an extended release form of guanfacine). Other meds used off-label for adhd include bupropion and Modafinil (provigil or nuvigil).
