What do stimulant ADHD medications do and how do they work?
Stimulant ADHD medications work to decrease the symptoms of ADHD — like hyperactivity, anxiety, impulsivity, and inattention — by interacting with neurotransmitters in the brain, increasing the amounts of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.
Are stimulant ADHD medications effective?
Yes — when used properly, stimulant medications are highly effective at reducing symptoms of ADHD, like hyperactivity, anxiety, impulsivity, and inattention.
Are all ADHD medications stimulants?
No — both stimulant and non-stimulant medications have been found effective for the treatment of ADHD. Learn more about non-stimulant ADHD medications.
Can I get stimulant ADHD medications through an online appointment?
Since stimulant ADHD medications are classified as controlled substances, their prescribing is subject to federal and sometimes state or local regulations. State regulations prevent the online prescribing of stimulant medications in Arkansas, Georgia, Ohio, and Texas. Online prescribing may be available in other states.
Can I get a prescription online?
You can meet online with a licensed provider at Thriveworks — if it’s clinically appropriate, they may prescribe you medication for the treatment of a diagnosed mental health condition. Your Thriveworks provider will send your prescription to a local pharmacy to be filled.
Can I use my health insurance for online prescriptions and refills?
Thriveworks accepts most major insurance plans for our online psychiatry and therapy services. Your insurance may also cover the cost of any medication prescribed to you by your Thriveworks provider, which can be filled at a local pharmacy. Check with your insurance provider to confirm your medical and prescription coverage information.
