If you or your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, figuring out the right medication plan can feel like a lot. There are many options out there, and it's easy to feel unsure about where to start, or wonder whether the current plan is really working. At Prestige Medical Group, we take that uncertainty off your plate.

At Prestige Medical Group, we follow a clinical roadmap built around what actually works. That means careful medication selection, a structured titration process, and ongoing monitoring to make sure your treatment is delivering real results. We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach because no two patients are the same.
Our providers are experienced in both of the main medication categories used to treat ADHD:
Stimulant Medications
Stimulants are the most commonly prescribed ADHD treatment and work quickly, often within 30 to 60 minutes. They come in both short-acting and extended-release formulas, so we can tailor the coverage to your schedule. Most patients respond positively to at least one of the two primary stimulant classes, which gives us a strong starting point.
Non-Stimulant Medications
Non-stimulants are a great option for patients who do not tolerate stimulants well or who need around-the-clock coverage. They take a few weeks to reach full effect but offer smooth, consistent symptom management throughout the day.
When selecting a starting medication, our team considers your family history, how long coverage is needed each day, and other medical and practical factors.
Once we have a starting point, we use a titration process to find the most effective dose. We increase gradually, monitor closely, and track results at every step. Common side effects like headaches or reduced appetite often ease within the first week or two, and we give patients and families specific strategies to manage them in the meantime. If something does not feel right at any point, we make adjustments quickly so you are never stuck waiting.
We also gather feedback from parents and teachers to get a full picture of how the medication is working across different environments. ADHD affects home, school, work, and relationships, and we want to make sure treatment is actually improving all of those areas.
We work with both stimulant and non-stimulant medications. Stimulants, which include methylphenidate-based options like Ritalin and Concerta and amphetamine-based options like Adderall and Vyvanse, are the most commonly prescribed. Non-stimulants are a great fit for patients who need a different approach. Our team selects the right starting point based on your individual health history, schedule, and needs.
This is one of the most common concerns we hear, and it is a fair one. The goal of ADHD medication is to manage challenging symptoms, not to change who your child is. If a patient seems flat, unusually quiet, or irritable, that is a sign the dose or medication type may need to be adjusted. Our team monitors for these responses and will work with you to get the plan right.
When managed properly, ADHD medication is considered safe for long-term use and can make a meaningful difference in daily functioning. Our providers stay actively involved in your care to make sure the plan continues to work well as your needs change.
Research consistently shows the opposite is true. Properly treated ADHD reduces impulsivity, which is one of the biggest risk factors for substance use. In other words, treating ADHD with medication actually lowers that risk, compared to leaving it untreated.
