While in college my family physician put me on addrell to help me with focusing, and studying. Will that be a disqualifier for AMEDD commissioning? Also I have high cholesterol that has been kept under control by meds. It is hereditary everyone in the family has it. Is this a disqualifier as well?

Good questions! A diagnosis of ADD/ADHD and subsequent treatment with a stimulant is a disqualifier, but waiverable if you have been off of the medication for at least 12months.

That said, the semantics of your diagnosis versus the prescription may come into play. Are you currently taking Adderall?

The high cholesterol is another waiverable condition.
