Not really relative to us but the story did make me think about stimulants. Here's a link

Thank you for posting the link.
This was story was on our local news about 2 weeks ago. I was rather suprised.
I do not take the A.D.D. meds lightly. My DD has been dx'd 10 years with A.D.D. and I have seen the bad side of these meds. After being On Ritalin for a few years she suddenly became suicidal and violent.
I have been told by 3 different mental health professionals since 2004 that I also have A.D.D. but I have choosen to ignore it untl now. A.D.D. can be hereditary.
Part of me wonders if I am dealing with MS cognitive problems and not A.D.D. (denial?
), Hence the reason I am asking if anyone with MS has used these drugs for cognitive problems and has had them help.
Again, thank you.
