hi all im new here...so in college and with my old job (accountant) i always had the benefit of being able to take adderral and having this curb most of my ADHD. last year i was let go by my firm and recently found a new job. the job is requiring me to move and since i have no insurance i cant get the Adderral till i am hired past the "temp to hire" phase. i am mildly freaking out at times due to the level of concentration and attention to detail my job requires. i am more than capable to perform the tasks on my meds...not sure what i am gonna do. if i dont get past the "temp" stage i will be absolutely devastated.

i ordered this stuff called focus formula from native remedies that got alright reviews.. praying that maybe it will get me to the point of having insurance.

any advice? i can deal with the whole starting a new job thing its just staying focused and blocking out distractions that i am really bad at. i cant even bring my phone to work. i usually hide internet explorer on my desktop.

should i let HR know?

confused and nervouse

I would think you would have a couple week's "grace" period since it will be a new job. I would see how this job might be similar/different from what you are use to and where exactly in this job you will have problems. I might make it a priority to buy the adderall with my first paycheck? Can you borrow the money from parents or friends?
