Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns....
What is your age? What is your serum albuminl levels and bilirubin? For how long you have been suffering from this ? Have you done any treatment?? I'd there any associated co morbidity???
In my opinion you should not take adderal and it is also not recommended in chronic liver disease as it increases the risk of development of hepatic encephalopathy ( hepatic coma ).
You should consult hepatoligist and start treatment for hepatitis c. Once it is cured everything would be settled
Get well soon
