Depends: On the state you live in and state laws . It is very expensive( hundreds) even if you did so how would you pay for it without your parents? In our state it falls under mental health and at14 a patient can get mental health provided without parental consent just by calling for the appointment . It still gets back to how are you going to get the prescription paid for?

No you can not: Adderal is a scheduled drug which comes under jurisdiction of drug enfoecement administration, and is prescribed for attention deficit disorder and has several side effects and no physician will prescribe it without parental consent, and with a proper indication and follow up by the prescribing physician.

Come clean: I think it is much better to come clean. You can ask your parents to take you to the dr, and if it is really necessary, your dr will explain it in order to obtain their consent. What is for sure illegal, is to get this medication if you really don t need it.
