I know there are many who use A.D.D. meds for fatigue. I do not but my DD uses adderall and has used other A.D.D. meds for what they are intended....A.D.D.

There are side affects, some serious and something those of you who want to use or are using these meds should research.

These meds are a legal form of speed and the reason some with MS use them because speed helps with fatigue. For those with A.D.D (adult or child) the affect is different - the meds actually calm the person so they can focus and not be so scattered.

RedPenguins: be aware that Dytrana, at least for my DD, can pull your skin off.

As I said - do your research on these drugs. The also have the ability to cause, in some, to become angry, violent and suicidal.

The only side effect my Ritalin has had is raising my blood pressure. My nuero just had me increase the dose by 5 mg each week until it worked. Unfortunaltely it was 30 mg. On 25 mg my B/P was OK. So I have been on 25 mg for a long time.

I am on modafinil and it does wonders.
