Guides
Plain-English guides to ADHD medication, titration, and what's actually evidence-based vs. marketing.
-
Why "cure" is the wrong word — but treatment works
ADHD is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition with strong biological underpinnings. There is no cure. Here's what realistic treatment looks like instead.
-
Vyvanse vs Adderall — what actually differs
Both are amphetamines. Lisdexamfetamine is a prodrug. That's the practical core of the difference — duration, abuse profile, predictability.
-
How Strattera (atomoxetine) actually works
A selective NRI improves attention without dopamine surges. Why the onset takes weeks, why it can be a better fit than stimulants for some people.
-
How clinicians actually titrate ADHD meds
The decision process: what to start, how to dose, when to evaluate, what defines "the right dose" — and what you can do to make those decisions faster.
-
Stimulant vs non-stimulant — when each fits
Decision factors clinicians actually weigh: comorbidities, tics, substance-use history, age, sleep, anxiety. There is no "best" — there is best-fit.
