First...: ...Question is, do you actually have adhd? If your doctor thinks you do, then the prescription should not be a problem.

TOO EASY: Sometimes too easy, before a thorough proper diagnosis of presenting symptoms and assessing for comorbidities is looked at properly.To quote dr sears and dr thompson...Medications when necessary, not necessarily medications.

Things to ponder: Most ADHD meds are schedule 2 controlled substances. That means the FEDS keep track of them from production to the final consumer. Possession without a valid prescription is like holding crack=jail time. Docs who prescribe them without a reason/exam/record can lose their license & possibly go to jail. Far too many prescribe them with marginal justification, but it is a risky area for all.
