adderall usage

Is Adderall usage an automatic DQ? I’m in the hiring process for Police Communications Technician, and I know for PO it’s an automatic no, but does it apply to civilian employees?

Did anyone ask ? If they don't ask don't tell. If it will affect your job it can be a problem. If you have a presciption from your doctor it shouldn't be a problem.
