Which of the following ADHD medications is not a stimulant?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Strattera. Strattera is a non-stimulant medication used to treat ADHD. It works by affecting the neurotransmitter norepinephrine in the brain, unlike stimulant medications like Adderall, Vyvanse, and Ritalin which work on dopamine. Strattera is preferred for patients who cannot tolerate stimulants or have a history of substance abuse. Adderall, Vyvanse, and Ritalin are all stimulant medications commonly prescribed for ADHD due to their ability to increase dopamine levels in the brain, helping with focus and impulse control. Therefore, the other choices are incorrect as they are all stimulant medications.
