Can Adderall Be Taken To Improve Concentration And Focus With Family History Of ADD?
I have failed out of college twice, I have the hardest time even finding the drive or motivation to get out of bed in the morning. daily tasks are seeming impossible and this is something that i have battled with since a young age. ive never performed well in school. ADD runs in my family and no one is brave enough or are too embaressed to see a doctor for it, but i cant let it control my life anymore. My cousin courtney takes 20 mg xr adderall everyday and she said it changed her life. Who can i see in a quick manner and possibly talk about a prescription for it? i want to start school soon but i want to be able to hold focus and concentration. Can any doctor help me??

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
For ADD, better to consult a psychiatrist and get yourself evaluated that whether you have ADD or not. If you have, that at what extent. In all case, there is no need of medications. If you have mild ADD, you can improve with certain techniques and moderate to severe ADD, you can take drug after psychiatrist consultation.
Thanks
