ADHD army reserves......................?

Read the following link. It says that you have to be off adderall for one year. Honestly, ADHD does not go away. Can you function off of your meds. Basic training is stressful and going off of your med could lead to other problems. I would seriously speak to a doctor about this and see what they say. I work with teens and I have heard some recruiters - not all - tell kids stuff that is not good for them. Speak to your civilian doctor immediately. If you get an ok, good luck.

Your recruiter is not being honest with you.

Here are the facts.

You're going to have to own up to being diagnosed with ADHD at some point in your enlistment process (I know Reservists don't go through the exact same process as Active Duty so I can't say exactly when or where). At that point, you will have to apply for a waiver for your condition. To even apply for the waiver, you have to be ordered off the meds by a doctor, and you have to stay off meds without incident for 12 months. Even then, your waiver may not be approved; it's not automatic.

The Reserves WILL look into your medical history. I work as a medic in the USAF and I can tell you that the first thing the doctor does when an injured Airman or Soldier comes in, is he tells me or one of the other medics to pull up that person's file and contact their previous doctors to get their civilian medical records. Once those are faxed over, he looks over them for past conditions that could have caused the injury - and if he sees ANYTHING you lied about, he processes you for a less-than-honorable discharge IMMEDIATELY. That means you're out, and you get a re-entry code of "4", which means you can never enter any branch of Military service in the USA.

Don't lie.

Have a doctor order you off the meds, if it's the best thing for you, and wait 12 months. Use the time to get in awesome shape.

If you can't enlist, it's not the end of the world. There are a LOT of ways to serve the US as a civilian. Check out http://www.usajobs.gov/ for civilian support jobs; a lot involve dealing with and helping military personnel.

you ought to've heeded your recruiters advice. i might assume which you probably did no longer positioned definite on the adhd area of the scientific type. then you definately went to meps and informed them. so they dqed you,which could actually symbolize as fraud enlistment. you have a waiver, however the probability is surprisingly bleak. the full protection stress is surprisingly lots lowering and downsizing,The military is reluctant to function extra human beings(Nk problem). they may be choosey to that end. they are going to seek for modern-day hs grads without criminal/scientific/financial/single discern issues. additionally recruitment interest is has been revving up those days, basically the previous few months at my college campus they have been appearing extra many times, in attempt to recruit college scholars. My theory grew to become into they are compensating for the quantity of folk getting kicked out of the protection stress. GETTING YOUR waiver authorized is surprisingly narrow, given which you lied to them and then informed them the certainty. You wouldve gotten in in case you had hear on your recruiter or have positioned definite on the adhd. additionally heres slightly archives, waivers can take weeks-to months to a year to be approve. they might basically sit down on your waiver for a mutually as and don't something approximately it. i comprehend a guy or woman online whos been waiting for a waiver for a year already.

You will have to be off the medications for one year minimum and document good academic and/or job performance during that one year period. Otherwise you are disqualified from entry into the armed forces.

The source below is the medical standard.

Adderal is amphetamine, something that has been around since the 1930's.

It raises up blood pressure, making it more work for your heart to pump blood. It also can cause psychosis.

What are you planning to learn in combat? You do not need the stuff, it could kill you to be on that medication and pushing your body to the max in combat. It also puts your fellow soldiers at risk.

The widespread use of these drugs in the USA is the worst kind of marketing, it is not medicine. It is sorcery.

Yes that plan is not going to work....
