Default Stimulants/Adderall with PCS

Hey all,
I'm a long time lurker of neurotalk, this is my first post.

8 months ago had a moderate concussion, 2 weeks later I felt back to 100%. Regrettably I went out and had drinks with friends 2 weeks after concussion, full return of symptoms.

I've done lots of Vestibular Therapy, all sorts of supplements(Omega's, Magnesium, multivitamin, turmeric, and more)
8 months later I'd say I am 99% recovered. Very occasional dizziness, specifically with quick movements.

I have been talking to my doctor and psychiatrist about trying adderall or vyvanse. I'm a 21 year old senior in college, struggling to keep up in school right now.

My doctor seems to think it won't be a problem for me, but as we all know some doctors don't know everything, especially when it comes to concussions.

Anyone have experience with adderall, vyvanse, or any other stimulants with PCS?

I don't want a return or relapse of symptoms, but think it could really help me in school.

Thanks all
