[b]First line psychopharmacological agents[/b]
[i]Stimulants are[/i] approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat ADHD in children and adolescents and are [i]considered first-line pharmacological agents in the treatment of ADHD[/i].

[b]Alternative psychopharmacological agents[/b]
[i]Non-stimulant medications are not usually considered first-line agents in the treatment of ADHD due to less robust response than stimulants[/i]. A meta- analysis report of double-blind placebo-controlled ADHD treatment trials indicated effect sizes of 0.6 to 0.7 for most non-stimulant studies compared to effect size of 0.95 for stimulant studies. Non-stimulant medications are usually considered if a child fails to achieve an adequate response to or experiences TEAEs with stimulants. However, under certain circumstances, one may consider initiating treatment with non-stimulant medications without a stimulant trial first, for example, with comorbid tic, substance abuse, anxiety and depressive disorders, and parental preference.
