Why Genetic Testing for ADHD Medications?
Finding the right ADHD medication traditionally requires trial and error - trying different medications and doses until something works. This process can take months and result in unnecessary side effects and frustration.
Pharmacogenetic testing analyzes how your body metabolizes ADHD medications based on your DNA. This genetic information helps identify:
✓ Which medications are most likely to work based on your metabolism
✓ Which medications may cause side effects or be less effective
✓ Optimal dosing guidance based on how quickly or slowly you metabolize medications
Instead of months of trial and error, you and your doctor can make informed decisions from the start.
ADHD Medications Analyzed
The ClarityX test analyzes how your genetics affect your response to all major ADHD medications:
The test also analyzes 130+ additional medications across cardiology, pain management, and other therapeutic areas.
Who Should Take This Test?
This test is especially helpful if you:
→ Are starting ADHD medication for the first time
→ Have tried multiple ADHD medications without success
→ Experience side effects from ADHD medications
→ Have a family history of medication sensitivity
→ Want to optimize your current medication regimen
→ Take other medications that may interact with ADHD treatment
Available to both current patients and prospective patients. If you're not yet a patient, your results will be delivered via the ClarityX portal with information about booking an evaluation if you'd like to discuss them with a specialist.

FAQ
I'm not a current patient - can I still order this test?
Yes. This test is available to both current patients and prospective patients. Your results will be delivered via the ClarityX patient portal. If you'd like to discuss your results with an ADHD specialist and explore treatment options, we can help you book an evaluation.
What are the benefits of Pharmacogenetic (PGx) Testing for an ADHD treatment plan?
Pharmacogenetic testing helps personalize your medication selection and dosage from the start. Instead of trial and error with multiple medications over months, you get genetic insights that guide treatment decisions. This is especially helpful if you've experienced side effects, unsatisfactory results, or have underlying medical conditions that affect medication metabolism.
What medications does the ClarityX Max Rx test cover?
The ClarityX test comprehensively assesses over 265 of the most frequently prescribed FDA-approved medications across various therapeutic areas, including Psychiatry, Cardiology, Pain Management, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, Immunology, Infectious Disease, Neurology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Pulmonology, Rheumatology, Urology, and Steroids. For a complete medication directory, please click here.
Currently, the ClarityX test assesses the following ADHD medications:
- Amphetamine (Adderall, Evekeo)
- Atomoxetine (Strattera)
- Clonidine (Kapvay)
- Dexmethylphenidate (Focalin)
- Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine)
- Guanfacine (Intuniv)
- Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse)
- Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Aptensio XR, Concerta, Metadate ER, Quillivant ER)
- Viloxazine (Qelbree)
How will this test help me?
The test analyzes your DNA to identify which ADHD medications are more likely to work for you and which may cause side effects or be less effective. Armed with this genetic information, your doctor can make more informed decisions about which medications to prescribe, helping you achieve better treatment outcomes faster.
How to genetics influence metabolism?
Your DNA contains genes that produce enzymes called Cytochrome P450 (CYP450), which break down medications in your body. Genetic variations mean some people metabolize medications quickly, others slowly, and some not at all. Pharmacogenetic testing examines these genetic variations to predict how your body will respond to specific medications.
How Are Pharmacogenetic (PGx) Testing Results Used?
Pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing is a process that analyzes your genes to identify any mutations that may impact how certain drugs work in your body. Specifically, PGx testing examines genes that encode for specific CYP450 enzymes that affect the metabolism of over 70% of clinically used drugs. The results of PGx testing can be used to determine which medications are most likely to be effective for you, which may require adjusted dosages, and which may pose an increased risk of adverse effects. PGx testing can be especially helpful in identifying the most effective ADHD medication options for you. The process for obtaining PGx testing results is straightforward and easy.
What will my test results look like?
You'll receive a comprehensive report through the ClarityX patient portal showing which medications are predicted to work well, which may require dose adjustments, and which may pose higher risks of side effects based on your genetics. For current patients, our medical team reviews your results and discusses them with you.
How much is the test if I'm a patient?
The test is $289 + tax (approximately $315 total depending on your location). Shipping is included. The retail price is $499, but through our partnership with ClarityX, we offer it at this reduced rate. The test is not covered by insurance, but you can use FSA/HSA funds to pay.
How do I recieve and take the test?
The test kit ships directly to you from ClarityX within 2 business days. Taking the test requires a simple, painless cheek swab that takes less than 2 minutes. Mail it back in the prepaid envelope included in your kit.
How long does it take to receive the results?
After ClarityX receives your sample at the lab, results typically take 7-10 business days to complete.
How is the DNA sample used?
ClarityX analyzes only the specific genes related to medication metabolism - this is not a hereditary DNA test. ClarityX does not retain, store, or use your genetic data beyond producing your report. Once processed, your sample is destroyed to protect your privacy.
I'm not on any prescription medications, should I still consider taking the ClarityX test?
Yes. Having your genetic information available before you need medication means you and your doctor can make informed decisions from the start if you decide to pursue ADHD treatment in the future. The results are valid for life since your genetics don't change.
