Online Services That Can Prescribe Controlled Stimulants
A few telehealth platforms can legally prescribe controlled substances like ADHD stimulants (Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse, etc.), though regulations vary by state:
Currently Active Options
Cerebral
- Offers ADHD evaluation and treatment
- Has faced some regulatory scrutiny but continues operating
Done Health
- Specializes specifically in ADHD
- Offers assessment and stimulant prescriptions where legal
Talkiatry
- Psychiatry-focused platform
- Can prescribe controlled substances through licensed psychiatrists
Brightside Health
- Primarily mood disorders but some ADHD treatment
Your existing primary care via telehealth
- Many PCPs can prescribe via their own telehealth portals
Important Considerations
- Ryan Haight Act requirements mean most platforms require at least one in-person visit, though pandemic-era flexibilities are still in effect (but may change)
- Availability varies significantly by state
- Most require a proper evaluation before prescribing
- Pharmacies may have controlled substance stock shortages
Recommendation
Talkiatry or Done Health are generally well-regarded for legitimate psychiatric evaluation rather than quick prescriptions.
Always verify current DEA telehealth rules, as regulations are actively changing.
