I have just begun adderall for chronic and attention fatigue; can anyone tell me how this medicine plays out after years of use? I am overwhelmed at the thought of needing meds for some sense of normality in cognitive abilities.

Oh Adderall...the "meth" of choice for high school and college students.

Adderall is a combination of amphetamine salts that will do what any amphetamines will do, which is raise your heart rate and give you more energy. As an amphetamine it's going to come with chance of dependency.

It's going to activate the mind as well, really helps cram for tests apparently. After radiation many of us suffer cognitive dysfunction, hell anyone who's met me will tell you that. It can be addressed with help through exercise and nutrition coupled with adjunctive tools if necessary. I have a hard time with this drug, and I've used it. Not a fan, but if it works for you use it.

Hi Eric, thanks for answering; I am new to the forum (this week) and hoped for several responses, should I have worded the title differently do you think? Also, your quote gently resonated my spirit. Be well, laugh much. E.
