Is a non-stimulant right for you?
Non-stimulant medications can be a good fit if you:
- Had side effects on stimulants like Adderall or Ritalin, such as anxiety, poor sleep, appetite loss or a crash
- Have anxiety alongside ADHD and want to avoid medications that can make it worse
- Want steady, all-day coverage instead of a medication that wears off in the afternoon
- Prefer not to take a controlled substance, or have a history that makes stimulants a poor choice
Non-stimulants work differently and usually take longer to reach full effect than stimulants. For some people they're the right first choice; for others they're a step after stimulants didn't work out.
Your options
The main non-stimulant options for adults each work a little differently and suit different people.
Strattera (atomoxetine)
The longest-established non-stimulant. Taken daily for steady coverage.
Qelbree (viloxazine)
The newest option. Once-daily extended-release capsule.
Bupropion
An antidepressant also used for ADHD, often when depression is present too.
Guanfacine ER
Originally a blood-pressure medicine; FDA-approved for ADHD in ages 6 to 17.

Frequently asked questions
Do non-stimulant ADHD medications work?
Yes, for many adults. Strattera and Qelbree are FDA-approved for adult ADHD. They usually take longer than stimulants to show full benefit, so follow-ups in the first couple of months matter.
Can I switch from a stimulant?
Often, yes. Bring a list of what you've taken and how it went to your first visit.
Will my insurance cover the medication?
Coverage depends on your plan. Generic options exist for several of these medications; your pharmacy can tell you your price.
