Whether or not you’ve been tested, do you think you have ADHD (with or without hyperactivity)?

I think I *might* have ADHD

Prefer not to answer

Just one more question after this one!

35 / 35

One last personal question, we promise!

Your answer to this question will help us calibrate our scores so that we can discern between “people with ADHD who are managing with the help of medicine or supplements” with “people who don’t have ADHD”

Regardless of your diagnosis, are you currently taking any prescription medicine or over-the-counter supplements to manage your ADHD?

Yes

Prefer not to asnwer

OK, really — sit back and wait for your score! You may need to wait 2 or 3 seconds.

Non-Stimulant Medications for ADHD

Adderall and Ritalin are proven medications for managing attention deficit in adults.

Unfortunately, these two drugs — both stimulants — can also amp up blood pressure, which can be extremely hazardous for many adults who are already at risk from hypertension.

Several non-stimulant meds are available for adult ADHD. Atomoxetine (generic Stratera) is specifically intended for ADHD and is extremely affordable. Guanfacine and Clonidine are anti-hypertension meds that help some adults with hyperactivity and (less so) with attention deficit. Buproprion (generic Wellbutrin) is an anti-depressant that helps some adults with hyperactivity and attention deficit.

Here is a nice summary article from WebMD: Nonstimulant Therapy and Other ADHD Drugs
