Diagnosed With ADD, ADHD. Prescription For Medicines?

Good afternoon,
I was diagnosed with ADD, and now ADHD that I'm in my late 20s. I was prescribed Adderal and took it for a short time. My doctor is no longer in practice, and I'm in need of an online doctor to refill this prescription. I'm looking to be in contact with a new doctor through online means to stay up to date with my medications.

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

I can understand your requirements. However it is my sincere advice not to take medicine by consulting a doctor online. Conditions like ADHD should be followed up with a doctor at regular intervals so that you can be monitored and the doses and/or medicine changed according to your progress. Apart from medication, psychological assessment and counselling would go a long way in management of your condition.

I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.

Wishing you all the best.

Regards,
