Posted on Thu, 13 Oct 2016
Question: I was prescribed adderall while residing in Florida. I recently moved to XXXXXXX and am interested in obtaining a prescription as soon as possible. I've noticed that my work performance has suffered as if had trouble focusing on small details and I've gained a little weight. I find it difficult to stay motivated to perform general tasks lately.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

It seems like Adderall is a helpful medication for you. It can help you focus, though it should not be used for weight loss. I recommend calling your insurance company to find a physician/psychiatrist in your area who accepts your insurance and can evaluate you for a prescription.
