Our dedication to staying at the forefront of psychiatric research is unwavering. In our continuous quest to offer cutting-edge treatments, we carefully scrutinize the latest studies and their implications for our practice. In this spirit, we're delving into the findings of a pivotal study published in the National Library of Medicine. This research compares the effectiveness of extended-release viloxazine (VER) to atomoxetine in managing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), particularly focusing on patients with combined ADHD who have not found success with atomoxetine alone.
The study involved 50 participants, including 35 children, who transitioned from atomoxetine to viloxazine ER after a brief washout period. The transition was carefully monitored, with doses adjusted according to FDA guidelines. Through detailed assessments, including ADHD-RS-5 and AISRS scores, the study revealed significant findings. Notably, viloxazine ER demonstrated superior improvements in managing ADHD symptoms, with notable enhancements in both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. Impressively, 86% of patients reported positive responses within two weeks of starting viloxazine ER, and a striking 96% expressed a preference for viloxazine over atomoxetine.
These results underscore the potential of extended-release viloxazine as a highly effective and better-tolerated alternative to atomoxetine for managing ADHD. The study highlights the drug's rapid action and its capacity to significantly reduce symptoms, making it a promising option for those seeking improved ADHD management.
Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry embraces these findings as an opportunity to enhance our holistic and research-backed care. The insights gained from this study enable us to refine our treatment strategies, ensuring we offer the most effective and personalized care plans. Our commitment to integrating the latest research into our practice means we are better equipped to support our patients in achieving optimal mental health outcomes.
