1 Stimulants are the first line treatment of choice for ADHD followed by Non-Stimulants, then off-label medications. We are providing this list of medications so that you can be familiar with the common medications clients may mention and hopefully be able to answer basic questions that your clients may ask. Always refer your clients back to their diagnosticians, appreciating that you are only able to share a layman s knowledge and what you have gained from your clients, ADHD conference presentations, current research literature, and any physicians/pa s that you have an interaction with. We did have this table reviewed and approved by a psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD. Overview Stimulants Methylphenidate Therapeutic Amphetamines (amount needed to achieve desired therapeutic outcome) Methamphetamine (Desoxyn) Non-Stimulants Atomoxetine Guanfacine Clonidine Special Notes: Columns on the next pages are all estimates. Actual frequency, etc. is dependent upon what is prescribed by the physician. levels do not indicate the severity of a person s ADHD. level is based on how sensitive the brain is to the medication. Off-Label Medications Antidepressants Aventyl, Cymbalta, Effexor, Norpramin, Pamelor, Savella, Tofranil, Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL Antinarcoleptics Nuvigil, Provigil Antiparkinsonians Requip (ropinirole), Symmetrel (amantadine) MAOI s Emsam (selegiline patch), Marplan, Nardil, Parnate Appetite Suppressants Adipex-P (phentermine) If an ADHD client is prescribed a medication that is not listed here, and told it is prescribed as a first line of ADHD treatment, that should concern you enough to encourage the client to ask his/her doctor why that medication was prescribed. If client is not sure of the color of the pill they should be taking, check the number on the pill to be sure they are taking the correct pill. You can find a visual ADHD Medication Guide with colors/numbers at: adhdmedicationguide.com/pdf/adhd_med_guide_ pdf If a client s medication side effect lasts more than two ADD Coach Academy Page 1
