Adult ADD & Adderall - will I have to take the meds forever?

Question

I'm diagnosed with ADD ADHD (I'm not sure of the difference) and I'm prescribed Adderall - will I have to take the medicine forever? Or is it something Dr's try to work you off of?

Answer 1

I'm not sure about taking the meds forever, but the H in ADHD means "Hyperactivity". Basically means you are hyper in addition to not being able to pay attention (basic ADD)

Answer 2

yes until u learn how to deal with ur issue
