So yes, Ritalin, Adderall, and other ADHD medications are prescribed for fatigue.
Yes, and I noticed that my new doctor in Chicago had noted next to my Adderall on the chart that it is for ADHD. I hadn't really thought about that until you wrote this here. When I am there next time this month, I'll have then correct it in my record. Although, when I was a kid, I definitely had some symptoms of ADHD, but I haven't been officially diagnosed with it.
