Is it possible to get Adderal XR for sleep apnea?
Question by : Is it possible to get Adderal XR for sleep apnea?
I’ve fit all of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD PI since I was little
It got more severe when I started “snoring” and I have zero energy
I’m moderately overweight but my dad also has sleep apnea
I’ve taken adderal 1 time illegally (I didnt know it was illegal to take another persons meds at the time though…) and it WORKED
I’m 14 years old
I’m wondering if I should just go for the ADHD PI diagnosis (also because weight loss has a significant chance of curing sleep apnea as adderall is an appetite supressant and raises metabolism)
or
Should I get a sleep apnea diagnosis and get absolutely nothing done because the masks for breathing WOULD NOT stay on me during sleep as i move around A LOT and take a small chance of getting it prescribed
The point is to stay focused and secondarily to lose weight not primarily to cure apnea

One condition doesn’t rule out the other. Get the ADHD PI diagnosis and get Adderall.
I don’t understand why you would try to get Adderall for sleep apnea specifically, that’s not going to work.
Get other treatment for the sleep apnea as well. If you think the sleep apnea diagnosis will somehow delay getting treatment for the ADHD, get the ADHD diagnosis first.
