    Joining with adhd

    When I was younger I was diagnosed with Adhd and took both ritilan and also aderall until I was around from the ages between 6-13 I stopped taking them because I felt I didn't need them
    to be good in school and I did not like the way they made me feel very timid and I did not have an appetite. The doctor also agreed that I would be fine without them which I have as I am an honor roll student who plays 2 sports in hs. My symptoms are not severe, the only one that really shows is my lack of organization and good time mAnagement. But I had that even when I was on the meds. Should I be okay when I go to meps?

    As long as you've been off meds for a year, you should be good.

    From what you just posted you will need an eval and a waiver.

    Is that why you chose that username ???

    Best of health and luck.

    So what If I tell them I have no symptoms? I have all the documentation I need, how long does the whole waiver process usually last? And no, that's my last name lol

    My recruiter knows everything...for the Adhd he wants paper work, which I am in the process of getting, and he'll start his paperwork..his boss said I have a good shot of getting in but im uneasy after doing my research about meps and add. In your opinion do I have good odds of getting in?

    Most likely you will need one, but check with your recruiter first.

    You will be fine, we run adhd waivers all the time and I have yet to see one not get approved. Just be patient, it will take time.
