Medication Management

Finding the Right Medication Takes Expertise

ADHD medications work — but only when you have the right drug at the right dose. That process requires a clinician who knows the options, monitors your response closely, and adjusts until the results are real.

At Bright Horizons Psychiatry, Dr. Etesam manages both stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medications and specializes in complex cases where ADHD coexists with anxiety, depression, or prior medication failures.

Signs Your ADHD Medication Dose Is Too Low

Many adults are on the right medication — but at a dose that isn’t producing real results. If any of these apply to you, a medication review could make a significant difference.

You don’t have to accept partial results. Dr. Etesam specializes in ADHD medication optimization for patients who haven’t gotten there yet.

Stimulants (Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Concerta) are the first-line treatment and work by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. They are effective for 70–80% of ADHD patients. Non-stimulants (Strattera, Intuniv, Wellbutrin) are used when stimulants are not tolerated or appropriate, or have not produced sufficient results. Dr. Etesam recommends the right option based on your full clinical picture.

Yes. Wellbutrin (bupropion) is frequently prescribed off-label for ADHD, particularly when ADHD coexists with depression or when stimulants are not appropriate. It works on the norepinephrine and dopamine systems and has clinical support for ADHD symptom improvement.

Schedule a medication review. Dose adjustments, switching medications, or adding a complementary treatment can make a significant difference. Don’t assume medication doesn’t work for you — finding the right medication and dose is a process. Call (240) 599-1001 to schedule a review at Bright Horizons Psychiatry.

We specialize in adult and adolescent ADHD. We do not treat young children. If you are an adult who was never diagnosed or received inadequate treatment in the past, we are well-positioned to help you get the right care.
