Yes, You Can Get ADHD Medication Through Telehealth
This is very much possible, though with some important caveats.
Services That Prescribe ADHD Medication
- Cerebral - Specifically designed for ADHD, offers assessment and ongoing prescriptions
- Done (done.com) - ADHD-focused platform with quick evaluations
- Ahead - Another ADHD-specific telehealth option
- Talkiatry - Psychiatrist-led, good for complex cases
- Brightside - Broader mental health but handles ADHD
Important Things to Know
Stimulants (Adderall, Ritalin) have restrictions:
- These are Schedule II controlled substances
- Since 2023, the DEA has tightened rules requiring at least one in-person visit in many cases
- Rules are still evolving, so check current regulations
Non-stimulant options like Strattera or Wellbutrin are easier to prescribe remotely
What to Expect
- Online questionnaire/assessment
- Video consultation with a provider
- Prescription sent to your pharmacy
- Ongoing monitoring visits required
My Suggestion
Start with Done or Cerebral if you want ADHD-specific care, but call ahead to confirm their current prescribing policies for stimulants given recent regulatory changes.
