Safe, structured medication and titration with a dedicated clinician.
For many adults with ADHD, medication can play an important role in managing symptoms such as inattention, impulsivity and difficulties with executive functioning.

Below is a step-by-step overview of what to expect during the ADHD medication titration process at RTN Mental Health.
Stimulant medications work by boosting dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, improving focus and attention quickly, often within an hour. They’re highly effective but can affect appetite, sleep, and heart rate, and carry some risk of dependence.
Non-stimulant medications work more gradually, taking weeks to reach full effect, and are generally considered safer for people with anxiety, heart conditions, or a history of substance misuse. They tend to be slightly less effective on average but are a good alternative when stimulants aren’t the right fit.
If you experience concerning side effects or have questions about your medication, please contact the RTN Mental Health team for advice.
If physical symptoms worsen or you feel unwell, seek urgent medical advice from your GP or emergency services. In the event of a mental health crisis, you can access immediate support.
