I do agree with your neurologist, personal experience with varied ADHD prescriptions, medical research into traumatic brain injury (of which YOU did experience to some degree) and validation of the benefit of stimulants (multiple ADHD drugs) to those suffering symptoms post TBI. Yes natural is best however additional "supplementation" with the concerta helps attain balance, if thats your goal.

btechcontact,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. You have found a good group.

Please introduce yourself and tell us how we can help you.

You said there is research to show the effectiveness of Concerta with TBI. Can you provide a link to this research?

The research I've read suggests stimulants over-tax the brain.

Default Provigil then Ritalin
I was put on Provigil to counteract needing to sleep 16 hours or more a day. It worked, and after about 3 days, I stopped taking it. It seemed to reset a more normal day/night cycle, but for those 3 days I barely slept.

Ritalin did nothing for me. After a couple of months, I stopped taking it. I don't recall there being any major side effects of it, just a disappointing lack of effect. I could really use some help in focusing, even now, 7 years later.
