Thank you for your question and welcome to ADHDCentral.com.

 

You will need to see a physician to discuss medication for ADHD. In the United States, you must be an M.D. in order to prescribe medication (some states do allow physician's assistants to prescribe medication as well), for example a family doctor, psychiatrist or neurologist.

If you don't currently have a family doctor or want to find someone who is familiar with adult ADHD, you can check the following online directories:

CHADD (Children and Adults with AD/HD) Professional Directory
Attention Deficit Disorder Association Directory
Attention Deficit Disorder Resources National Directory
ADD Consults Professional Directory
National Center for Girls and Women with ADHD Professional Directory

 

I hope this helps
