At Buckhead Clinic, we help patients with prescription renewals when they are already receiving ADHD treatment as prescribed by a psychiatrist, neurologist, or ADHD specialist.
For patients who are seeking ADHD care for the first time, our physicians can refer you for diagnosis and further evaluation with an appropriate specialist.
ADHD treatment may help improve focus, reduce impulsivity, and support better symptom management. Because some treatment options require careful medical supervision and may affect sleep, appetite, or blood pressure, our team reviews your medical history and coordinates care when needed.

How to Renew an ADHD Prescription at Buckhead Clinic
If you are already a patient at Buckhead Clinic and receive ongoing ADHD treatment, our team can help you with prescription renewal when it is clinically appropriate.
Scheduling an Appointment
To request a renewal, book an appointment through our website or call our office. We will help you find a visit time that works for your schedule.
What to Bring
Existing patients usually do not need to bring extra paperwork if their ADHD treatment history is already documented with us. During your visit, please tell your doctor about any changes in your health, new symptoms, new medications, or concerns about your current treatment.
New patients may provide medical records from a previous clinic. With your permission, we may also request records on your behalf.
What to Expect During Your Visit
During the appointment, your doctor will review how your treatment is working, ask about possible side effects, check for any health changes, and decide whether renewal is appropriate. If more information is needed, your doctor may request records or recommend further evaluation before continuing treatment.
Please note: this service is intended for patients who already have an ADHD diagnosis and are currently receiving treatment. If you are seeking ADHD medication for the first time, your doctor may refer you to an appropriate specialist for diagnosis and treatment planning.
When You Need an ADHD Evaluation Before Treatment
If you do not have an ADHD diagnosis, the first step is a proper medical evaluation. Our clinic can refer you to an appropriate specialist who can assess your symptoms, review your history, and determine whether treatment is appropriate.
Continuing ADHD Treatment After Moving to a New State
Moving to another state can affect how you continue ADHD care. Requirements may vary by location, provider, insurance plan, and the type of treatment you receive.
Check Requirements Before You Move
Before relocating, contact your current provider and your future clinic to understand what records, appointments, or evaluations may be needed.
Plan Your Care Transition Early
Talk with your current doctor before your move so you have a clear care plan during the transition. Your provider can explain what is medically appropriate and help you avoid gaps in care.
Connect With a New Provider
Try to find a new healthcare provider before or soon after your move. Transferring your medical records can help your new doctor understand your diagnosis, treatment history, and follow-up needs.
Ask Whether Telemedicine Is Appropriate
In some situations, telemedicine may help with follow-up care, depending on your medical needs and applicable rules. Your provider can explain whether this is an option for your situation.
Possible Side Effects of ADHD Medication
Some ADHD medications may affect sleep, appetite, mood, blood pressure, or heart rate. Regular follow-up visits help your doctor monitor side effects, adjust your care plan when needed, and make sure your treatment remains safe and appropriate.
Who May Not Be a Good Candidate for Certain ADHD Medications?
Some ADHD medications may not be appropriate for people with certain heart conditions, uncontrolled blood pressure, severe anxiety, or a history of substance use disorder. Your doctor will review your medical history, current symptoms, and any medications you take before recommending or renewing treatment.
Final Thoughts
ADHD treatment is not one size fits all. The right care plan depends on your diagnosis, health history, symptoms, and response to treatment. At Buckhead Clinic, our team can review your needs, coordinate care when needed, and help you understand the next appropriate step.
