I'll try to keep it simple.

I have no criminal record at age 55.

Was an FFL holder for 13 years long before I got ill.

At 53 I was diagnosed with severe clinical depression.

Voluntarily checked myself into, what I was told was a
"stress ward", seeking counseling and or medication to
help.

Turned out to be a Mental ward full of drug addicts,
alcoholics and pretty much nut cases who came and went
regularly like it was their 2nd home. Not what I was
looking for so I left the next day AMA. As a result my FOID
was revoked.

State of IL. wants a shrink to sign off saying I am no
threat to myself or others by legally possessing firearms
and ammo. Never was any threat before depression, during or
currently and don't expect to be.

After about 8 different anti-depressant failures, new doc
treating me as ADHD with adderall. For the first time in
3.5 years I am getting relief and able to enjoy life again.

It will be 2 years in January since they jerked the card.

Before I waste money on a shrink, can you tell me if
adderall will keep me from getting my FOID back?

If so, I can get off the adderall and stay depressed and
own my guns again; pretty much my life prior to trying to
get some real help.

Thank you.
