What is ADHD medication?

An ADHD medication is a reliable way to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms for the 4.4% of adults in the U.S. who have it Or the 5.4% of men who have ADHD and the 3.2% of women.

ADHD medications affect the levels of chemical messengers in the brain that regulate mood, attention, alertness, emotions, and motor function. People taking a medication often have improved motivation, better control over their mood, and more energy, among other benefits. 

You can take an ADHD medication if you’re diagnosed with the disorder and meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved criteria for taking one. There are several different ADHD medications. Talk to your healthcare provider about which, if any, is right for you.

Types of ADHD medication

ADHD medications fall into 2 main categories: stimulants and non-stimulants.


Stimulant medication

Stimulant medications include amphetamine/dextroamphetamine-based medications like Adderall and methylphenidate-based meds like Ritalin. These medications stimulate the central nervous system (CNS) to promote cognitive function. They start working almost immediately and reach peak effectiveness within hours.


Many stimulant ADHD medications are controlled substances, meaning they have a potential for abuse and addiction if not taken as prescribed. While they’re the first-line treatment for ADHD symptoms, they may not be a good choice for some people.

Non-stimulant medication

If you can’t or don’t want to take stimulants, there are non-stimulant ADHD medications. Some can even be used alongside stimulants. Non-stimulants options include Qelbree (viloxazine) and Strattera (atomoxetine), which are FDA-approved to treat ADHD in adults.

Studies show non-stimulant ADHD medications can be as effective as some stimulants without the potential for addiction. But the active ingredient takes time to be effective. This means it may take a week or more to notice improved ADHD symptoms.

Like any medication, both stimulant and non-stimulant medications can have side effects, some serious. Before taking any medication, talk with a licensed provider, tell them about any medications you’re already taking, and share your medical history.

Learn more about stimulant vs non-stimulant ADHD meds.

Common ADHD medications

Some of the common medications for ADHD include Adderall, Ritalin, Strattera, and Qelbree.

A licensed medical professional on Klarity Health can work with you on an ADHD treatment plan tailored to your needs. Your provider may prescribe an ADHD medication as part of your treatment plan if they feel you need it.

Adderall (amphetamine/dextroamphetamine)

Adderall is the most commonly prescribed ADHD medication overall and first-line stimulant treatment.

Strattera (atomoxetine)

Strattera is a popular non-stimulant ADHD medication that may be better tolerated than stimulant alternatives.


Learn more about Strattera

Ritalin (methylphenidate)

Ritalin is a stimulant medication for ADHD that works faster than some others, reaching peak effectiveness in 2 hours.


Learn more about Ritalin

Qelbree (viloxazine)

Qelbree is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) and effective non-stimulant ADHD medication for many.

Medications all have side effects, some serious, may have warnings, may be contraindicated for some people, and may interact with other medications. Before taking any medication or considering using a medication talk with your provider.

Your provider may or may not recommend medication as part of your treatment plan.

Get ADHD medication online

To get ADHD medication online, you need a telehealth appointment with an ADHD diagnosis from a healthcare provider licensed to prescribe medicine. Providers include physicians (MDs), physician assistants/associates (PAs), and nurse practitioners (NPs). 

To find a provider online for a diagnosis and/or medication management, search marketplace services, like Klarity Health, and schedule an appointment. Your provider can evaluate your symptoms, diagnose you, and prescribe medication if it’s right for you. 

Note: most stimulant ADHD medications are controlled substances and regulated by state law. Not all states let telehealth providers prescribe medication online. Check your state’s regulations or ask your provider for details.

How to find ADHD providers

ADHD providers include medical doctors and psychiatrists (MDs), nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants/associates (PAs), and ADHD therapists. MDs, NPs, and PAs can prescribe medications. ADHD therapists can’t but do offer ADHD therapy and work with you and other specialists if needed to create a tailored ADHD treatment plan.

ADHD providers specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. While any qualified healthcare provider can diagnose ADHD and prescribe medication, an ADHD provider can perform more in-depth evaluations. They’re often more knowledgeable about treatment options as well. 

You can search marketplace services, like Klarity Health, to find licensed ADHD providers for medication and/or therapy.
