Is Adderall Safe To Be Taken For Absent-mindedness?

Hi, I am trying to figure out if there is a medicine that can help me out. I have been made fun of my whole life for being absent minded and I know I come off unintelligent sometimes but I don t believe I am dumb. I received good grades all through grade school but smoked way too much marijuana in my youth. I wonder if the pot I smoker did damage to my brain and that s why I come off slow all the time. Can you recommend anything? Could Adderall be a good choice?

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear yes marjuna can cause blockage of memory formation can cause cognitive impairment in adulthood if use happens during adolescence. It can also quicken age-related brain cell loss, though marijuana has been shown to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

So please consult your neuro psychiatrist before you want to start any medication, it can cause many side effects. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask.
