Why It Matters
Safety First
Stimulants and non-stimulants affect heart rate, blood pressure, sleep, and mood. Physician oversight keeps treatment safe and catches issues early.
Right Dose, Right Drug
The first medication is not always the best fit. Careful management means adjusting the agent, dose, and timing until you get reliable, day-long benefit.
Fewer Side Effects
Methodical titration reduces common side effects like appetite loss or trouble sleeping, helping you stay on treatment comfortably.
Lasting Results
Needs shift with life changes, stress, and age. Ongoing management keeps your plan aligned with how you actually live and work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What medications are used to treat ADHD?
ADHD is commonly treated with stimulant medications such as methylphenidate and amphetamine formulations, and with non-stimulants such as atomoxetine, guanfacine, or bupropion. The right choice depends on your symptoms, health history, and response.
How does medication titration work?
Titration means starting at a low dose and adjusting gradually to find the amount that gives the best symptom control with the fewest side effects. Your psychiatrist reviews your response at each follow-up and fine-tunes accordingly.
How often will I have follow-up visits?
Visits are more frequent at first while finding the right medication and dose, then spaced out once you are stable. Ongoing follow-up is needed to monitor effectiveness, side effects, blood pressure, and overall wellbeing.
Can ADHD medication be managed by telehealth in Maryland?
Many medication management visits can be conducted by secure telehealth across Maryland, in line with current prescribing regulations. In-person visits are available in Frederick when needed.
