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
Done (done.com) - Specializes specifically in ADHD, relatively affordable monthly subscription
Cerebral - Offers ADHD assessment and treatment, though they've had some regulatory scrutiny
Ahead - Focuses on ADHD care with ongoing support
Talkiatry - Uses actual psychiatrists, good for complex cases
Your primary care doctor via telehealth - Often the simplest option if you have an existing relationship
Important Realities
- Stimulants (Adderall, Ritalin) are controlled substances, so there are more restrictions
- The DEA's pandemic-era telehealth flexibility has been extended but rules may tighten
- Most services require a thorough evaluation before prescribing
- Some states have additional restrictions
- Non-stimulant options (Strattera, Wellbutrin) face fewer hurdles
What to Expect
- Initial assessment taking 30-60 minutes
- Possible follow-up appointments before prescribing
- Ongoing check-ins required
- Your pharmacy fills prescriptions normally
Done or Talkiatry are probably the most straightforward starting points depending on your budget.
