ADD meds disqualifier?

[stresss]

Hey guys - I wanna test LVMPD in September, but I'm wondering taking ADD meds could be an instant DQ. I dont haven any other problems, and dont need the meds to function - just find that they help me focus / work better

what do you think??

You won't be asked during the background interview, but you will be asked during your oral psych. At the time the Dr. will give you time to explain why you were on it and ask any relevant questions regarding it. Don't let that keep you from applying.

A fellow officer of mine has ADHD as a C/O in WA. It shouldn't be an issue, but make sure you tell them, especially when you get your UA. Is ADD considered a mental health or a medical issue?
