      Not all types of ADHD necessarily need stimulants. While stimulants are often the first line of treatment for ADHD, they don’t work for everyone, and non-stimulant medications are available as alternatives. In fact, about 20-30% of individuals with ADHD do not respond to stimulant medications.  Non Stimulants work by increasing the levels of norepinephrine in your brain and takes longer.
