Suffering from Hep C. Can a doctor prescribe me a low dose Adderall?
Patient: Hi, I have Hep C for 10 yrs. Now I am starting to feel symptom of the hep C. The symptoms include chronic weakness extreme tiredness. Some days I feel I cant even get out of bed. my question is, do you think a Dr. can prescribe me a low dose of Adderall? Doctor: Welcome at HCM      I have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns....    What is your age? What is your serum albuminl levels and bilirubin? For how long you have been suffering from this ? Have you done any treatment?? I'd there any associated co morbidity???     In my opinion you should not take adderal and it is also not recommended in chronic liver disease as it increases the risk of development of hepatic encephalopathy ( hepatic coma ).   You should consult hepatoligist and start treatment for hepatitis c. Once it is cured everything would be settled     Get well soon         Regards   Dr Saad Sultan
