Struggling with hyperactivity, impulsivity, and a constant feeling of restlessness? Worried about the potential downsides of stimulant medication for ADHD?
If you find it hard to control impulses, stay still, and manage yourself, there’s a modern, effective, and drug-free approach. It works by directly addressing the imbalances in brain circuits that cause these symptoms. These circuits aren’t working as well as they should. It’s time to rebalance things.
The ADHD Struggle: When You’ve Tried Everything
Constant restlessness, impulsive decisions you later regret, and trouble controlling your behavior? Does ADHD make you feel out of control, misunderstood, and frustrated because you can’t just calm down, even if you really try?
Maybe you’ve been on stimulant medication like Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse, or Concerta for years. You might get some relief, but you also deal with side effects like insomnia, loss of appetite, irritability, more anxiety, heart concerns, and worry about needing the medication forever.
Or perhaps you’ve tried non-stimulant drugs like Strattera, Intuniv, or Wellbutrin, but they haven’t helped much with hyperactivity and impulsivity.
You’ve also tried therapy and ADHD coaching, learning ways to manage symptoms, but still feel like you’re constantly battling your own brain. You’ve tried skills training, adjusting medication, mindfulness – but nothing really fixes the core problem.
Here’s why: ADHD isn’t just a discipline problem, a lack of self-control, or a simple chemical imbalance that medication can fix for good.
At its heart, ADHD involves brain circuits that aren’t working as well as they should – specifically, reduced activity and weaker connections in the prefrontal cortex. This is the brain area responsible for impulse control, behavior, self-control, decision-making, and planning. These prefrontal networks don’t function properly, leading to irregular dopamine and norepinephrine signals.
This causes the hyperactivity, impulsivity, emotional struggles, and trouble with executive function that you experience every day. Stimulant medications temporarily boost neurotransmitters, but they don’t repair the underlying electrical issues in your brain’s self-regulation and impulse control.
What is TMS Therapy for ADHD?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, evidence-based brain stimulation technology that uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to strengthen and rebalance the neural circuits responsible for impulse control, behavioral regulation, attention, and executive function.
While TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, its use for ADHD represents a promising frontier in neuropsychiatry, supported by compelling emerging research demonstrating significant improvements in core ADHD symptoms including hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention.
For individuals with ADHD, TMS specifically targets the prefrontal cortex: the exact brain region shown to be underactive and dysfunctional in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. By delivering calibrated magnetic pulses to these underperforming regions, TMS helps increase cortical activation, enhance functional connectivity in attention and impulse control networks, strengthen dopamine and norepinephrine regulation, improve neural communication between brain cells, and restore balance to the circuits responsible for self-regulation.
Research demonstrates that repetitive TMS (rTMS) improves core clinical symptoms of ADHD, enhances attention-related cognitive functions, reduces hyperactivity, improves impulse control, strengthens self-regulation, and increases the ability to complete daily tasks. Unlike stimulant medications that only work while the drug is active in your system and require daily dosing, TMS creates lasting changes in brain circuit function and neuroplasticity, with effects persisting for several months after treatment completion.
Why Our ADHD Program is Different
SeeBeyond Medicine focuses on optimizing your brain, not just masking symptoms.
Standard ADHD treatment often involves daily stimulants and weekly behavioral therapy. It can help manage symptoms, but it doesn’t tackle the root causes. We believe lasting change needs a different approach.
ADHD isn’t just about a dopamine problem. It’s tied to underactive brain networks, influenced by imbalances in neurotransmitters, nutritional gaps, inflammation, sleep issues, diet, and metabolism. Traditional ADHD treatment largely overlooks these factors.
We’ve created our Enhanced TMS Protocol to address all these areas. It’s a functional medicine approach designed to improve impulse control, reduce hyperactivity, and lead to lasting behavioral improvements.
Our Enhanced TMS Protocol includes four integrated components:
1. Neurotransmitter Testing (Pre & Post-Treatment)
Before beginning your TMS treatment for ADHD, we conduct comprehensive laboratory analysis to measure your baseline levels of key neurotransmitters—including dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, GABA, and glutamate—that directly influence hyperactivity, impulsivity, attention, emotional regulation, and executive function. This objective data eliminates guesswork and reveals your unique neurochemical profile. After completing treatment, we retest to document the measurable biochemical changes occurring in your brain, providing concrete evidence of your neural transformation.
2. Calm IV Therapy
Throughout your TMS treatment course, you’ll receive specialized intravenous nutrient infusions designed to reduce nervous system hyperactivity, support optimal neurotransmitter synthesis, and enhance brain energy metabolism. Our Calm IV includes therapeutic doses of Magnesium—a critical mineral that calms excessive neural firing and reduces hyperactivity—along with B Vitamins that serve as essential cofactors for producing dopamine, norepinephrine, and other neurotransmitters vital to impulse control and behavioral regulation. These nutrients create the ideal biochemical environment for your brain to respond to TMS stimulation and rebuild healthy self-regulation networks.
3. Acupuncture Sessions
We integrate acupuncture throughout your treatment plan to enhance TMS outcomes, reduce systemic inflammation (which contributes to cognitive and behavioral dysfunction), balance the autonomic nervous system, and naturally increase Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)—a critical growth protein that promotes neural healing, neuroplasticity, and the formation of new, functional brain circuits. Acupuncture supports the neural remodeling necessary for lasting improvement in impulse control and behavioral regulation.
4. Health Coach Brain Health Sessions
Your comprehensive program includes personalized one-on-one sessions with our dedicated health coach, who will work with you to develop evidence-based strategies for sleep optimization, nutrition, regular physical activity (essential for ADHD management), stress reduction, organizational systems, time management skills, and targeted supplementation. We address every lifestyle factor that influences your brain’s capacity for impulse control and self-regulation, ensuring your TMS results extend far beyond the treatment room and become integrated into your daily life.
