I was diagnosed with ADHD as a young kid (7-8), took a variety of medication on and off until my freshman year of high school, when I decided it wasn't helping and cut it out completely. Come my sophomore year (2012) of college, I decided to renew my script, however, seeing how people used (or rather abused it) at my college, I decided against getting it filled and still haven't taken any form of dosage since I was 14. Through college, I kept my grades up the entire time, which, ironically were SIGNIFICANTLY better than anytime I had take medication growing up. I am presently applying for a second degree/masters program and plan on participating in AROTC, hopefully to join the military upon graduation- I'll be starting school again in the Fall of 2015.
My question is, since I haven't taken any form of medication or had any other of the other DQ-able factors (no accommodations, kept up grades, etc), will this be an issue with DODMERB? Do I need to go into my doctor and OFFICIALLY get "unprescribed", even though it's been 2 plus years since the last prescription and close to a decade since I've taken anything?
