I am a 3rd year engineering major in college, my work load is getting increasingly harder, and I find my self not able to concentrate (a problem I had since I was young). Along with internships, the work is overloading, and the fact that i’m not able to concentrate is becoming a real problem. I recently tried adderall from a friend, and I realize that it actually helps me concentrate and i’m able put full effort into the things i’m doing. I was wondering if there is any way to get prescription for adderall, and if I do get prescription for adderall, would the adhd show up on my medical record? I’m afraid if I actually get prescription by pretending to have adhd, it will show up on my medical record and cause future problems. Thank you all very much for the help.

Whatever you do, do not get perscribed to adderall, or any other stimulant for that matter. Bad, bad choice, especially if you are not diagnosed with add or adhd, which happen to be a bunch of bs anyway. The only way you would maybe get a script would be to go through the tests and evaluations with the psych; they don't give that crap out to just anyone. These drugs are harmful to your heart, muscles, brain, you name it, and are extremely addictive. No one is for sure of the long-term effects of adderall because it is a relatively new drug, but i'm betting that it is not good. I suggest you stay away if you have an addictive personality or no will-power inside of you. But hey, if you're really persistant, you just may find another common, idiot psychologist who hands them out to you as if it were halloween.

adderall addiction don't do it!
I agree with everything Krispy011 said with the exception they don't just give it out to just anyone. i started taking adderall 9 years ago. It has completely destroyed me. The most addictive thing out there. before i knew it i was addicted and needing more before i knew it i was doctor shopping. i had absolutely no problem getting more than 20 doctors to prescribe to me. not all at once but i had at least 4-5 going at a time. The only one that ever tested me was my original doctor. They all believed me when i told them i was add and i took adderall. I ended up in troble with the law at the age of 40. I had never even so much as had a speeding ticket. first time offense I was given 10 yrs probation for prescription fraud. those ten yrs were a struggle failed ua's extensions to the duration of my probation. finally after 14 yrs i have one month to go. I am now off adderall but it took the entire first 13 yrs to do it. Still today i miss adderall everyday. It felt like i buried my bestfriend. it has been a yr and i still don't know day to day if i will be successful. it is overwhelming how powerful this addiction has been and still the battles in my head everyday are stuch a struggle. i pray i survive this disease of addiction. i sure thought by now and working a program faithfully it would not be such a daily struggle. please you do not want to start adderall. i never considered myself an addictive person what so ever. but this medicine took hold of me the first pill i swallowed. I do not understand why it is on the market still. You can not convince me that a single person can take it and take it as prescribed. Everyone will abuse it. They may not admit it but the do. Thank you i really need to share that.

Truth be said
Maybe u are just an addict and don't need drugs. You are a complete fool to say that everyone will abuse it. YOU abused it and YOU didn't want to admit it, and YOU let it take a hold of you. What a base head move. You have serious addiction problems, and now sounds like you've just moved your addiction to religion. Can't put your garbage on the whole world! Take responsibility for your addiction and stop blaming the drugs! Adderall made you do it? Adderall put a gun to head and said "do me now." Ignorance is a disease too, pray your god to cure you of that too! Don't blame me for this post, it's people like you who make me this way.
