Yes, You Can Get ADHD Medication Through Telehealth
This has become much more accessible, though there are some important details to know.
Services That Prescribe ADHD Medication
Dedicated ADHD platforms:
- Done - specializes specifically in ADHD assessment and treatment
- Cerebral - offers ADHD evaluation and ongoing management
- Ahead - focused on ADHD care
Broader telehealth platforms:
- Talkiatry - psychiatrists who can prescribe
- Brightside - mental health focused, includes psychiatry
- Teladoc - larger platform with psychiatry services
What to Expect
- You'll complete an assessment/questionnaire
- Video appointment with a clinician (usually a psychiatrist or NP)
- If appropriate, they can prescribe stimulants (Adderall, Vyvanse) or non-stimulants (Strattera, Wellbutrin)
Important Reality Check
- Stimulants are controlled substances - some platforms are more cautious than others
- You may need follow-up appointments to continue prescriptions
- Some pharmacies have had shortage issues with certain medications
- Rules tightened after 2023 DEA reviews, so some services now require in-person visits for controlled substances
Tip
Check each service's current policy before paying, as regulations have been evolving.
