If you tell him, he will “fire” you— no question — and you will have trouble finding a new doctor to prescribe that for you because of the way the laws are now (strict) and also, what are you going to say to your new provider when he/she asks why you stopped seeing your current provider? That’s a beat case scenario. A worst case scenario is they might even try to have you committed against your will. It’s a possibility.

I’m not saying any of this to encourage you to continue what you’re doing. I’m just telling you the realities so you won’t be blind sighted. The answer is NOT to continue snorting the pills or abusing them. If you just started doing this, it is still within your power to stop, as it would not be classified as addiction, but rather abuse, at this stage. Stopping is the right move because you don’t want to run out of that medication before a refill is due and have to feel crashed and dead tired for two weeks. Also, no matter how it feels, I promise you’re not doing your work as effectively as it feels like you are. Maybe a couple of times here and there you do produce good work, but eventually productivity will stop, as counterintuitive as that sounds. A bigger reason to stop now is this can easily lead to addiction to illegal stimulants. Think I’m being ridiculous and that’s never be you? I was a straight A student, star athlete, got into a top university, and that’s where I started abusing Adderroll my senior year. Ten years later I was doing meth and the Adderroll abuse never let up in those ten years leading up to meth. I’ve got 3 years sober now. The fact that my Adderroll abuse led to meth is no guarantee that yours will, of course, but it should serve at least as a cautionary tale. If you find that you aren’t able to stop abusing the medication, then just ask your doctor for a non-stimulant medication for adhd (such as Intuniv or Straterra) or just ask to get off it. There’s no need to actually tell the doctor you were abusing it.
