So my question is that I read some where that Ritalin could be prescribed for a concussion and I have ADHD and was diagnosed when I was 6 and I started taken Ritalin from Kindergarten to 7th grade. So I was thinking about going back on Ritalin way before my concussion because I struggled with staying focused and almost failed a couple of classes In 9th grade..so I'm asking if I go back on for Ritalin for ADHD, could it also help me for my concussion like the mental part because it would get my mind on school and stuff..Ritalin helped me for ADHD so much so that's why I don't mind going back on it..

If no one knows about the Ritalin I understand but also could it be my glasses...

THANK YOU!
you are very early in the recovery process and the fact that your symptoms aren't terrible is a great sign at one month!! I dont know about the Ritalin part but I have a strong feeling this concussion will be a distant memory in a year or maybe less. Anxiety is a side effect of tbi. Ask you doctor about what medications could help you get through the hard times.
