ADHD RX Rules: Paying Attention to Meds for Paying Attention

You get diagnosed with ADHD, the doctor prescribes a stimulant and that is it; right? Wrong! Getting the right stimulant in the right dose delivered at the right time is more of an art than a science. You see, each person is different and metabolizes stimulants differently. All too often, ADDers get the diagnosis, take the medication, have a bad experience, then give up. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, host Jeff Copper interviews Dr. Charles Parker, author of “ADHD Medication Rules: Paying Attention to the Meds for Paying Attention.” The two will have an open discussion designed to inform you and help arm you to have a conversation with your mental health professional to tune into the right drug in the right dose using the right delivery system. The two will also discuss follow up strategies. Yes, once you set meds does not mean your needs won't  change. If you have ADHD, have tried stimulants and been frustrated with the results, this is a must-listen-to show to find a physician who is both knowledgeable and current in the field of ADHD.
