Question: Is it possible to be prescribed medication for adhd online? I have been struggling with it a lot since i was a kid and used to be on medication for it. It seems like as an adult it has been starting to effect me even more. I don't currently have a primary care physician. Any information would be very helpful.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

ADHD is now commonly treated in adults, which is a good thing, because it is certainly possible to have symptoms as an adult, especially if you had symptoms as a child as well.

Unfortunately, it is not legal for doctors to prescribe medications online, especially controlled substances like Adderall. That requires an in-person exam prior to prescribing. However, I am happy to answer any questions you may have about this medication.
