Exclamation I was on Adderall

I was in a unknown state of my condition of memory loss while in school and could not focus so I told my primary physician I was having major problems and they gave me adderall....

Unlike you I did not know what was going on with me and never thought I had PCS in accident....the hospital said soft tissue...after I told them I thought I hit my head because I had no idea how I got to shoulder of rode and was sick while waiting for highway patrol.

The adderall had me doing great in school and focused, motivated, I was showing great improvements in school but as time passed my behavior changed and headaches were often but still did good in school.

I started to turn to more symptoms with speech and my thought process and now over a year from accident I found out I have PCS with mild dementia, balance issues and a list of every cognitive impairments...

I will be starting neurocognitive therapy hopefully soon plus 4 others. I had to withdraw from school to prepare myself for therapy.

I don't know if my symptoms got worse because I did not know what was wrong with me for over a year of concussion or it was because I was on adderall.

They said three months after I start neurocognitive therapy I will need to get help getting off my med's because I am on a speed ball!

I have a adderall to control some symptoms and xanax to control others...

I am on the opposite end of your situation....I wonder if the adderall made mine worse over time and if I am going to be able to get over the impairments?

If you could let me know how the therapy is so I know what I am facing!I would greatly appreciate it

Best of Luck to you!
