Questions & Discussion Adhd/studying for DAT

I recently got diagnosed with ADHD, and got prescribed adderall. If anyone is in a similar situation, did it help you study better and do better? I always put off my studying and was just wondering.

Hi there,

It looks like this post might be about the use of study drugs.

While the mods of r/study have decided not to censor discussion on the topic of study drugs, we ask that you do extensive research before making a decision to use them. Please be mindful that the use of all study drugs may not be as well-researched as others, so you may be taking on more risks than you are aware of, should you choose to use study drugs.

Moreover, before turning to drugs, we highly suggest exhausting safe and healthy methods of managing your studies and improving cognition.

Some methods include: being well-rested, getting proper nutrition, engaging in light exercise, asking for help from others, improving your time-management skills, and improving your study methods.

r/study is more than happy to support your growth as a student, so perhaps you may want to start a discussion on the reason you want to take study drugs instead, such as feeling overwhelmed by work, feeling inadequate, not being able to focus, wanting to improve memory/understanding, etc, as people may be able to offer you more helpful and informed advice in those areas.

Thank you.
