Which med do you choose for ADHD? What do you do if the first med doesn't work? Join me as we review a step-wise approach for prescribing meds for ADHD.

Key points:
*Stimulants are first-line treatment for ADHD

Step 1: Choose which “class/type” of stimulant to start

Step 2: Decide whether short or long-acting

Three types of stimulants in my order of preference:

1.     MPH – my fave b/c fewer mood side effects

2.     Amphetamine salts – great also

3.     Focalin IR/XR – for those who don’t tolerate one of the other ones above
