An Easy Pill to Swallow
ADHD medication can be a tricky subject.
Where do you start?
Recently on Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast, Pete and I sat down with Dr. William Dodson to discuss where to start when addressing ADHD medication.
We were blown away by the amount of information we received!
The biggest take-away from our interview was not to let fear hold you back from trying medication along with the counsel of your healthcare provider. The most important thing you can do is educate yourself about the medication your physician may prescribe.
To help you educate yourself more about the different types of ADHD medications available, here are a few resources for you:
Treatment of ADHD - CDC
ADHD - Treatment - NHS
ADHD Medication, Treatment, and Stimulant Therapy - Cleveland Clinic
ADHD Medication for Adults and Children - ADDitude Magazine
Medication Management - CHADD
It’s important, when deciding whether or not to add medication to your ADHD therapy, you consult your healthcare provider and have an open dialogue with them to discuss your feelings and needs.
