Brief Answer:

Follow up with a new psychiatrist or primary provider

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

If you do not have addiction issues and your diagnosis is confirmed to be attention deficit disorder, then there should be no problem getting a prescription for Adderal.

You can schedule an appointment with a new doctor in your insurance system for the prescription refill.

Unfortunately, prescriptions cannot be provided through HealthcareMagic.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
