Can Adderall Be Taken For Poor Concentration And Distraction?

default
Posted on Mon, 4 Jan 2016
Question: Hi, my name is XXXX and I am currently 18.
Ive always had a tuff time studying on my own and concentrating on tasks such a homework without getting distracted. I always tend to go on my phone or do anything but actually study. I am in university now and do not know how to solve this problem. I go to the library all the time but even then after a couple minutes of work I get distracted on something else. My friend has the same problem, however his doctor prescribed him a low dosage of adderall that has really seemed to be working for him in his studies. I was wondering if you would be able to do the same to me!
Thanks for your time.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Young man,

Thanks for writing to us.

Your history suggests you might be suffering from attention deficit disorder (ADD). Diagnosis can be confirmed through detail history and mental status examination which should be done by a psychiatrist/specialist.

Adderall (Amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) is central nervous system stimulant and used in treatment of ADD. It is strict prescription drug. You need to consult doctor for take the prescription. Online prescription is not valid. I am sorry for limitation from our side. It is better to take medicine after consulting local doctor so any side effect occurs by chance doctor can provide immediate help. If you will use adderall under medical supervision it will prevent chance of abuse and dependence.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
