Depends: If you are looking for your PCP to take over prescribing, you are likely fine. Talk to your doctor, who will likely request records from your other doctor.

RX Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine): A primary care physician can certainly prescribe Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) if in his/her judgment the medication is necessary. He/Her may need more information from the other doctor such as medical workup, psychological testing, and contact with a psychiatrist if any question is left unanswered. The prescription it self will not be enough for the doctor to write a prescription for you.
