Off Medicine Time Frame

[maciec]

I have been told and read 2 different things about ADHD medication. We were told by a recruiter that my daughter had to bee off of the medication for a year by 2 different recruiters, but everything I am reading says you have to bee off of it for 2 years. In December it will be a year. He told us to contact him in October or November to get started with the process if she chose to enlist. Either way ROTC or enlisting it will still have the same time frame we are still deciding which way to go.

I knew you would give me the right answer! Thank you!! Maybe the enlistment process takes longer and that’s why they are saying a year
