Q: Adderall Questions

asked by: liquidsun on November 4th, 2006

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.

if adderall worked for you, then you do have either add or adhd. You see, for people that dont have it, adderall makes them super wired and jumpy. Adderall is a stimulant, but it does the opposite thing for people with add/adhd.
I took adderall once and I thought I was going to have a heartattack. I couldnt sit still for hours.
You need to get an rx from a psychiatrist.

Thanks

Thank you for the information, but the thing is I dont want it to show up on my medical record, so I was wondering if prescription for adderall is going to show up on my medical record in any way. Is that possible? Or the prescription is purely confidential or doens't show at all?
