Who Can Prescribe ADHD Medication?

Only licensed professionals—such as psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, or neurologists—can prescribe ADHD medication for adults. Depending on your state’s telehealth regulations, prescriptions may be issued virtually or in person in compliance with medical and legal standards.

How Online ADHD Prescriptions Work

To ensure your safety and compliance with state and federal laws, Graceland Psychiatry follows a secure and transparent prescribing process:

  1. Prescription Monitoring Review: Every patient’s record is checked through the state’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) within 48 hours of consultation.
  2. Clinical Review: A trained team reviews the PDMP report for safety and appropriateness before it is cleared for prescribing.
  3. Provider Consultation: You’ll meet with a licensed clinician online to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals.
  4. Personalized Plan: If appropriate, your provider will create a tailored care plan, which may include medication, therapy, or a combined approach.

This process ensures your treatment is safe, compliant, and customized for your well-being.

Medication as an Effective ADHD Treatment

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to ADHD treatment. Research shows that stimulant medications can be highly effective for adults—often improving focus and reducing impulsivity within an hour of taking them. Commonly prescribed options include Adderall XR, Concerta, and Dexedrine.

For many patients, the best results come from a combination of medication and psychotherapy. Regular virtual check-ins with your Graceland Psychiatry provider ensure progress tracking, dosage adjustments, and ongoing support.

Types of ADHD Medication

Stimulants

Stimulant medications are the most commonly prescribed for ADHD. They increase levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain—neurotransmitters that help regulate focus, motivation, and self-control.

Short-acting stimulants begin working within 30–45 minutes and last 3–6 hours, while long-acting stimulants deliver effects for up to 12–16 hours.

Common short-acting medications:
Adderall, Dexedrine, Dextrostat, Focalin, Ritalin

Common long-acting medications:
Adderall XR, Vyvanse, Concerta, Daytrana, Dexedrine Spansule

Non-Stimulant Options

For patients who cannot tolerate stimulants or prefer alternatives, non-stimulant medications are available. These options work differently but can produce similar benefits with fewer side effects.

Common non-stimulant medications include Strattera, Intuniv, Kapvay, and Clonidine. Certain antidepressants, such as Bupropion, may also improve concentration and mood.

All ADHD medications prescribed by Graceland Psychiatry are FDA-approved and monitored for safety and efficacy.

Potential Side Effects

ADHD medications are generally safe and well-tolerated, though some people may experience:

  • Mild headaches or dizziness

  • Dry mouth

  • Appetite changes or weight loss

  • Sleep difficulty

  • Irritability or restlessness

Your provider will work closely with you to monitor progress, adjust dosages, and address any side effects quickly. The goal is to find the optimal balance between symptom relief and comfort.

Nootropics and Cognitive Support

Nootropics—sometimes called “smart drugs”—are substances that enhance focus, alertness, and memory. Many ADHD medications, such as Ritalin and Adderall, already function as prescription nootropics.

While some over-the-counter supplements (like caffeine or L-Theanine) may enhance alertness, only clinically approved medications should be used to treat ADHD safely and effectively. Graceland Psychiatry prescribes only evidence-based, regulated treatments to ensure your safety and results.

Understanding Treatment Limitations

While online ADHD treatment is highly effective for most adults, certain cases may require in-person visits or specialist referrals. At Graceland Psychiatry, we’re transparent about what’s possible through telehealth and always prioritize your safety and quality of care.
