Stimulant VS. Non-Stimulant Medication

ADHD medications aren’t one-size-fits-all. What works well for one person might not for another. That’s why ADHDAdvisor connects you with a licensed clinician who can guide you through the prescription process. Together, you’ll figure out whether a fast-acting stimulant or a slower-acting non-stimulant is the safest and most effective choice for your needs.
Types: stimulants & non‑stimulants
Prescriber: prescribed at doctors' discretion

Stimulants

Quick Onset
  • Usually the first option doctors try
  • Start working in about 30–60 minutes
  • Short-acting versions (IR -immediate release) last a few hours, long-acting (XR- extended release) can last most of the day
  • May cause side effects like less appetite or trouble sleeping
  • Examples: Adderall, Ritalin
  • Prescriptions available in select states through ADHDAdvisor.org

Non-Stimulants

Slower Onset
  • Often used if stimulants don’t work or cause negative side-effects
  • Take longer to notice benefits (1–4 weeks)
  • Usually taken once a day
  • May cause sleepiness or low blood pressure in some people
  • Examples: Strattera, Intuniv

List of Stimulant Medications

Stimulant medications are often the first option doctors consider for ADHD. They work quickly — sometimes within an hour — and can provide steady focus and energy for part or all of the day. Not everyone responds the same way, which is why our clinicians consider your health history, goals, and lifestyle before making recommendations.

In certain states, ADHDAdvisor clinicians are able to offer the full range of ADHD treatment options — including stimulant prescriptions where appropriate. This means your provider can tailor the plan that best fits your needs, whether that’s a stimulant, a non-stimulant, or another approach.

Non-stimulants are generally taken once a day and can help with focus, restlessness, and impulsivity.
