Frequently Asked Questions
Will ADHD medication stunt my teen's growth?▾
Stimulants can modestly affect appetite and growth in some teens, which is why we routinely monitor height, weight, and eating and adjust the plan when needed.
Are non-stimulants an option for teens?▾
Yes. Atomoxetine and guanfacine are non-stimulant options that can help teens who do not tolerate stimulants or whose families prefer to avoid them.
