When my son was in 2nd grade, he was first on Ridilan and then Adderall. They were both prescribed by his pediatrician. For an adult to get on a drug like adderall, they have one that is stimulant free, I forget what it is called but that is generally prescribed by either your PCP or a Psychiatrist, they can write all sorts of anti-depressant drugs and other psychotropic drugs. (drugs that alter the brain's chemistry). If your PCP won't write it, then you may have to get a referral to a psychiatrist depending on your insurance plan. Many family doctor's (Primary Care Physicians) won't write for these types of drugs because it is out of their area of expertise.

Is adderall suposed to be taken all at once or throughout the day?

Your doctor can determine what is best for you based on your schedule - assuming you are seeing one. Adderall can be prescribed in a variety of ways. Adderall XR lasts for 8-12 hours, and gives two divided doses as its time released. It is given once daily. Sometimes, doctors will prescribe a small 10 mg IR dose, for a boost or for avoiding a crash. Adderall IR can be prescribed once daily, although it is only effective 4-6 hours. Doctors typically prescribe this 2x daily for that reason, with the occasional 3x dosing, depending on the persons metabolism and schedule.
