Hey All - I just completed my interview for nursing school and I am accepted pending a criminal background check and a urine test. My family doctor prescribes me adderall for ADD. Here's my question: When I disclose this to the people who collect ...

I'm thinking more and more that this is NOT the way to go. It seems to me that this is a privacy issue and unless they (1) ask you to explain a positive result for amphetamines or (2) ask you what medications you are on then you are not obligated to...

When I was 25 (Im 33 now) I went through extensive testing and was diagnosed with ADHD. When I began taking adderall the side effects tended to outweigh the benefits. Sure, I could focus for long periods, but my understanding of the textbook info w...

Adderall can cause you to over-analyze. Over-analyzing is good when studying. But when you are testing, you know what you know - over-analyzing does you no good. I've kept a 3.9 gpa by lowering my dose on testing days.

Are you saying the testing center is not allowed to disclose the medicine you take to a potential school/employer if you have a valid prescription?

So you're saying a nursing school is legally obligated to allow a person on amphetamines to treat patients? This is where I'm not sure and I don't know what to do. I really don't want to contact the disabilities office because I don't think it's any...

"getting a positive reading for amphetamines is not the same thing as failing the exam" I didn't mean to imply that. The poster originally stated that they should only be testing for illegal drugs, and I only meant to explain that as far as the urin...

This is the exact advice my doc gave me but after 4 years of being on 1 mg of Sub I think I have FINALLY committed to quitting and listening to other people who HAVE BEEN THERE. And you are right, last weekend I tried to go from 1 mg to nothing and...

Hi Kristey - Adderall is an amphetamine. So when they do a 10-panel urine test, adderall is a failed exam. In this regard, there is no distinction between "illegal drugs" and what I am taking. However, I've been on this medication for 8 years wit...

I just want to add I have NEVER had the urge to take my old pain meds while on Suboxone. There was never a fear of relapse. I think this is the thing that a lot of people miss about Suboxone treatment. Yes, you are trading one addiction for anoth...

SWS RN - I am a new user here and it will not allow me to PM you because I don't have 15 posts yet. Can you PM me? I'm dying to ask you some questions about what you wrote here. I have been stuck at 1 mg and I'm finding the final step impossible. ...
