My son, who is 17 and interested in earning his pilots license, was prescribed Concerta last year. He was tested by the doctor for ADD and ADHD and was NOT diagnosed with either. I think the doctor said he was borderline, but again the doctor said he was not ADD or ADHD. I'm almost certain the doctor would write a letter or provide documentation of same.
He was prescribed the Concerta on a "as you feel it is needed" basis. He takes it 4-5 times a week during week days and very rarely on weekends (only when he has a big test to study for). I'm a pilot, but my job moves us every 12-24 months, so I've never really developed a relationship with an AME (actually never thought about it until reading some of the advice dispensed here).
Any thoughts / direction appreciated.
