Does ADHD medication always work?

Your prescribing team may need to try a few different medications to find the one which is right for you.

Most people have success with stimulant medication, and this is why the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends it as an option for managing ADHD.

There are times when individuals may not respond to medication in the way their prescribing team had hoped. The titration period is where your prescribing team monitor your response to medication and make changes depending on your feedback about any side effects or benefits of the medication. Your prescribing team will guide you through the process, taking your lead along the way, and will help to keep your expectations realistic.
