Short answer: there’s no single “best” — but if you want reliable telehealth that commonly prescribes non‑stimulant ADHD meds (atomoxetine/Strattera, bupropion, guanfacine, clonidine, Qelbree/viloxazine, etc.) and offers follow‑up care, consider these options:
-
ADHD Online (getADHDonline.com) — focused specifically on ADHD assessment and medication management. Pros: streamlined ADHD evaluation, experienced ADHD clinicians, clear process for non‑stimulant prescriptions. Good if your main need is an ADHD diagnosis and medication plan.
-
Cerebral — large, full‑service mental health platform providing psychiatric visits, therapy, and medication management. Pros: frequent availability, integrated therapy + med follow‑ups, commonly prescribes non‑stimulants. Good if you want ongoing combined care and easy refills.
-
PlushCare — offers psychiatry visits via telemedicine and accepts many insurances. Pros: board‑certified psychiatrists who can prescribe non‑stimulants, one‑off visits or ongoing care, insurance-friendly for lower out‑of‑pocket cost.
-
SteadyMD — primary‑care + specialty psychiatry model with a dedicated provider. Pros: continuity with a single clinician, more personalized long‑term management (including non‑stimulant options).
-
Amwell / Teladoc (behavioral health/psychiatry services) — nationwide telepsychiatry platforms that connect you to psychiatrists who can evaluate ADHD and prescribe non‑stimulants. Pros: broad provider choice and insurance partnerships.
How to choose:
- Confirm they treat your age group (some services focus on adults only).
- Make sure you’ll see a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner experienced in ADHD (not just a generalist).
- Check insurance acceptance and visit vs subscription pricing.
- Ask about follow‑up frequency, labs/monitoring, and access to therapy or coaching (CBT and skills coaching are often helpful on non‑stimulant regimens).
- Laws vary by state for controlled medications; non‑stimulants are usually easier to prescribe remotely, but confirm the provider’s policies.
If you tell me whether this is for an adult or a child, whether insurance matters, and whether you prefer subscription vs single visits, I can narrow these to the best fit and give direct signup links.
