Can you join the military while on medication for ADD/ADHD?

Can you join the military while on medication for ADD/ADHD?

No, not while taking meds.
ADD/ADHD is disqualifying only if the applicant has been treated with ADD/ADHD medication within the previous year and/or they display signs of ADD/ADHD. For applicants with a previous history of ADD/ADHD who have been off medication for more than one year, and they do no demonstrate significant impulsivity or inattention during MEPS processing, the MEPS examining official may find them qualified for military service without submission of a waiver.

Coming from someone who was in the service, no you need to be clean for 6 months and pass your testing. They have been getting really laxed about that stuff. But go to your local recruiter and talk and see what the current requirements are.

No. You have to be medication-free for a period of one year and also document good academic and/or job performance during that year.
