How Medication Titration Works
- Titration is the careful process of finding the right ADHD medication dose for each individual.
- It involves evaluating effectiveness and tolerable side effects over time.
Pre-Medication Assessment Needed
- ADHD stimulants are the first choice unless health reasons prevent it.
- People should have thorough assessments including mental, social, and physical health before medicating.
Medication Effects Can Be Subtle
- ADHD medications often don't produce instant effects; benefits can be subtle and take time.
- People with ADHD may misjudge effectiveness due to poor metacognition, needing external feedback.
