How can I get a hold of Ritalin? Or any other medication with the same effects.?
Question:
I have never been diagnosed with ADD because I never had the opportunity to be diagnosed. My family is the type that would only take me to the doctor if I had something broken and any misbehavior correlating with ADD was dealt with a good *** kicking.
My classes are going to be getting more intense than ever this upcoming year (OChem, Multivariable Calc, Physics, BioChem) now that I'm a third year and I need all the mental aid I can get.
So please, try to tell me the easiest possible way to obtain this medication preferably without the whole long diagnosing and prescribing process. Thank You.
Answers:
You need to be closely monitored if you're on any kind of medication, as too much, too little, or unneeded medication can cause long-term health problems, as well as side effects. I would talk to your doctor, or the doctor at your school's health center. Either one can determine if you need medication, and/or where to refer you.
Also, my former college had ADD testing available for a low-cost fee to determine if a person has ADD. Like I said, you don't want to mess around with medication, or it can really mess you up. You don't want this to happen if you want to do well in school, especially not if you're taking intense classes.
Medication for ADD is NOT something you want to fool around with. You have no idea what they can do to your body or mind if you take the wrong thing. They can also alter your personality and change your behaviors for the worst.
The best thing to do is get yourself to a doctor.
I work with kids who take these meds. They are closely monitored and under regular doctor's care.
