What to do if i self-medicated with adderal for 2 years. did i damage my brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to clarify: I am not sure what you mean. If you had a prescription i would expect that was because you have a diagnosis of adhd or add. If that is the case then use of rx medication would be appropriate. If you were using it without a prescription and for other reasons you may have fallen into a pattern of dependance that may require assistance in learning how to function without this medication.
