"The best ADHD medication isn't about brand names or buzzwords; it's about the one that works for you."
Imagine a world where ADHD medications are ranked like football players in the NFL draft. In this episode of TheKicksShrink Podcast, Dr. Sulman Aziz Mirza, a psychiatrist with triple board certification, shakes up the usual suspects in ADHD treatment by sharing his top five picks. Forget Adderall and Ritalin as the frontrunners. Dr. Mirza has treated thousands of patients over the years and his list offers some surprises, including Desoxin - a pharmaceutical-grade methamphetamine.
It's not as scary as it sounds, he assures us, and for some patients, it's been a game-changer. Moving through the list, Dr. Mirza discusses Intuniv, a non-stimulant that calms the mind without spiking dopamine. It's perfect for those struggling with anxiety and sleep issues alongside ADHD. Concerta takes the third spot, offering smooth and predictable focus throughout the day, while Adderall claims second place for its flexibility and motivational boost.
But the crown goes to Vyvanse, praised for its steady delivery and safety profile. Dr. Mirza's rankings aren't based on popularity but real-world effectiveness. He emphasises that the best medication is the one that works for you, making you feel focused and calm without losing your sense of self. With light humour and expert insight, this episode provides valuable information for anyone navigating ADHD treatment options. Curious about which medication might suit you or someone you know?
Tune in to hear Dr. Mirza's unique perspective and perhaps rethink what you thought you knew about ADHD meds.
