While the survey found that the rates of combination therapy were higher in children with a diagnosed psychiatric comorbidity, the rates remained substantial even in those without an established mental health or neurologic comorbidity. The most common psychotropic drugs used in combination with a stimulant were alpha-2 receptor agonists, antipsychotic agents, and antidepressants. Most adjunctive therapies were used out of labeling. The survey suggests more data is needed to guide second- and third-line ADHD therapies when stimulants are not sufficient."}
