I need to add my 2 pennies.
I have had "brain fog" stemming from fibromyalgia & lupus off & on for 10 years. I am sure that at times these things did contribute to BF. I really did not consider that I might need to see a PD until this year. He diagnoses me with ADD & narcolepsy.
I really like the effect of Adderal for me. My mind is clear & calm. My body is very relaxed. I can get my paperwork completed for work.
Also, I am an amateur musician but stopped playing after Christmas & dropped out of the church band I was in. Playing was just too stressful & I was making mistakes. I even stopped listening to music for a while. I have started playing the piano for pleasure again. My husband says I sound better than I have in several years(after surgery for thyroid cancer I sort of lost my timing & coordination for a long time & never fully got back to the same place)The music finally flows again.
I tried Provigil breifly for about 10 days but it was giving me headaches. It seemed to help the first couple of days but after I got the headache I was out of it & worse every day I was on it.
My PD says to stay away from caffeine since that interferes with the receptors for Adderal. It seems to be working better--focus, calm, & awake since I have been off caffeine. Does anybody's PD tell them to stay off caffeine when on Adderal? thanks!
