Adhd medicine
I need adhd medication for short duration for my studies, I don't have adhd.. Is it illegal to take it??? Will a psychiatrist be offended if I ask him to prescribe me??? I know there are other ways to study... But I think an extra encouragemen won't be that bad especially for short duration... I earlier took zoloft in my depression which helped me overcame my depression,so I came interest to this.

Hi..
Thought process of consuming ADHD medicines for studies alone in a healthy person is not very welcome .
In case of concentration problem along with disturbed sleep, feel free to seek a professional help in a right way!
Wish you good luck with your studies!

Hi thank you for being honest. ADHD MEDICATION help to improve attention and concentration in people who suffer from ADHD. In others they give only stimulant effect. I.e. may not improve attention and concentration.
Hence we don't prescribe these medicines in general population.
In people without ADHD, Taking the stimulant medication may have negative effect and amount to abuse.
