Yes, I am on Adderall. Along with other drugs, lotrel (for blood pressure), premarin, just started Lyrica, flexeril at nite, prozac (which I'm going to try and stop), prilosec, and started fish oil again because looking back I think my pain was better when I took it. Alot of other people on this board think fish oil helps, too. I've tried lots of other drugs also without any significant relief.
I find the Adderall really helps me focus through the pain on bad days. When I don't take it, I really seem to give in to my feelings of wanting to stay in bed and do nothing. Adderall really helps motivate me to get things done. I'm a nurse and work 4 days a week so I have to get going in the morning. I don't think I could manage fibro without my Adderall. I never miss a dose because I can feel a big difference without it in the worse way. I started taking it for ADD, but I would recommend it for fibro, too. JMOPO. Good luck to you. BTW, I'm a young, white, 57 yo female.
