In this planning session, the patient, family and medical professional can work together to consider the various options for treatment including prescriptions. If medication is going to be used as part of your treatment plan, the medical professional will prescribe a specific medication for you to begin taking.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The medication trial should be monitored very carefully, especially in the early weeks so needed adjustments can be made to the dose and timing of the prescription you are taking. If the first medication you tried is not helpful or produces unpleasant side effects, the medical professional\u00a0 should make adjustments as needed. If the adjustments are not sufficient to bring a positive response, another medication option can be tried.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most individuals with ADHD respond positively to any of the frequently used medications that help manage ADHD symptoms.

Medication treatment without proper monitoring, appropriate education about ADHD, and other appropriate treatment interventions is often not enough to help. ADHD prescription failure can be caused by non-compliance or when patients do not take the medication as prescribed by their medical professional.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parents of children with ADHD sometimes report that medication used during their child\u2019s earlier years no longer works once their child reaches adolescence. This problem can be solved by speaking with your child\u2019s prescribing medical professional and adjusting the dose or switching to another ADHD medication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ADHD prescriptions can be a powerful tool in your tool belt for managing symptoms of ADHD.
