What if I am on Adderall, under doctor's supervision, but I don't have ADHD? |
Two doctors I've been to have told me that I need to get an ADHD evaluation because they're convinced that I had it when I went to complain about other stuff. I took the referral and got the evaluation, and I felt as though the psychologist was just trying to find as much evidence to pushing the diagnoses rather than not. I got prescribed Adderall and was told if it worked, then I had ADHD. Well... It works. i'm prescribed adderall because my psychiatrist just likes to find problems in people and prescribe medicine (maybe he makes more money that way or something, lol). i guess i have some symptoms of ADD, but i don't think i actually have it. i take adderall to study because it helps me read faster and remember more. i'm 17 and i've been taking it since i was 14 or 15. If you took ADHD medication and you didn't have the disorder in question, you'd become very energetic and jittery. Likely more irritable as well. Basically, taking Adderall when you don't have ADHD will give you the symptoms of ADHD. |
