Default A prior post from a year ago
This prior post from a year ago here on NT may provide some helpful input for you to consider: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/ar.../t-161501.html.

While my own experience with being Rxd generic Adderall and generic provigil last year proved 'beneficial' for me in the short term, in the long term I believe that it led to me push myself to achieve more than I was actually capable of sans a setback --- which for me was a horrible major long term relapse and loss of all that I had recovered/healed.

It was for me as I look back upon it now, an artificial sense of energy/capacity/wellness that did allow me to do/achieve a great deal; yet the end-cost was far greater than whatever it allowed me temporarily. In truth, I believe that I got myself into 'adrenal burnout'. The price/time I paid in recovery was unbelievable, now looking back.

I myself would not recommend the course of ADD/ADHD type of meds for tender post-concussive condition. It's simply not worth the cost of the benefit, in the end analysis, in my own experience.

All the best to you,

Theta Z.
