Question: I left the stove on. I left my car running until it ran out of gas. I cannot concentrate. I cannot get out of bed. My sister says I need Adderall. I'm a healthy female, 52 years old, 125 lbs, 5'6". Where can I go to get a prescription?
Thank You

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Adderall is not the correct approach here. Not being able to get out of bed is not a symptom if ADHD. Instead, you may be depressed, which can cause memory loss, confusion, forgetfulness, and trouble getting out of bed. You may also have a neurological condition. I advise you speak to a primary care physician to go over your symptoms and provide an appropriate referral.
