Episode Description

wrap
Adults who are exploring pharmacological treatment for ADHD are often bombarded with a wealth of options and confusing advice. Some sources claim the medications used to treat ADHD are highly dangerous, while others minimize any risks.

Some prescribers refuse to write for higher dosages when lower doses are inadequate to alleviate symptoms. Then there’s the conflicting advice to patients about whether they should take the same medication dose every day, vary the dose, or take drug holidays.

While specific ADHD treatment decisions should always be made in consultation with your professional treatment team, this webinar will provide viewers with general information about:

Stimulants vs. non-stimulants and which are better for alleviating ADHD symptoms.
Common and minor side effects of ADHD medications.
Uncommon but dangerous side effects of stimulants.
How an individual determines optimal dosing of ADHD medications.

When should ADHD medications be combined.
