Description

Today I will start discussing the stimulant medications used for ADHD. I will be starting with the amphetamine medications. First, I'll talk briefly about methamphetamine, which is actually a prescribable option, but then I will cover all of the dextroamphetamine and mixed amphetamine salt medications. These include medications you have heard of such as Dexedrine, Procentra, Zenzedi, Xelstrym, Adderall, and Mydayis. I'll go through all the details on what distinguishes each of these medications to help you decide when you might want to use each of them. I mostly stick with only a few of the stimulants, but I will describe some situations where you may want to consider each one of these. This is what I love best. There are so many medications that are so similar, so I think it is important to know the differences between them so that we pick the right med for the right patient.
