Will I have to delay my re-enlistment due to taking Adderall, even though I was prescribed it in the military?

I was prescribed adderall my second year in the army and took it for the remainder of contract.
I’ve been out a little over 2 years and have been prescribed the same medication from a civilian doctor.
That being said, I’m looking at re-enlisting in the guard and very concerned in regards to the good ole’ (keep your mouth shut about previous medical history).
Adderall being a level 2 controlled substance there is a lot of vetting prior to being prescribed, meaning I’m 100% positive me taking adderall while active duty will be cross checked with my civilian records after separation. I know for a fact you have to be a year off of medication when you very first enlist.
My question is will I have to put my re-enlistment on the back burner for a year even though I was prescribed it in the military?
Thanks y’all!
