Yes, You Can Get ADHD Medication Through Telehealth
This is very much possible, though there are some important details to know:
What's Currently Available
Services that prescribe ADHD medication:
- Done (done.com) - specializes specifically in ADHD assessment and treatment
- Cerebral - offers ADHD evaluation and medication management
- Ahead - ADHD-focused telehealth
- Talkiatry - psychiatry-focused, handles complex cases well
- Brightside - mental health platform with prescribing capability
Important Caveats to Know
Stimulant medications (Adderall, Ritalin) are controlled substances, which means:
- Federal rules require more oversight
- Some services may prescribe non-stimulants first (Strattera, Wellbutrin)
- You may need follow-up appointments before stimulants are prescribed
- Some pharmacies require extra verification
What to Expect
- An initial evaluation/assessment (often a questionnaire + video visit)
- A clinician reviews your history
- Ongoing check-ins to manage your prescription
My Recommendation
Done or Talkiatry are solid starting points - Done specifically for straightforward ADHD cases, Talkiatry if you have other mental health concerns alongside ADHD.
Costs vary, so check if they accept your insurance first.
