Does anyone take Adderall? I have ADD and in the past have taken 5mg adderall when I needed to focus. Now in addition to that, I use it when fatigue gets in the way of living. I am over 70 with coronary heart disease. My current PCP doesn't want me to take it any more because of my age and CAD. Do any of you have experience with this? Thanks.

I have PBC & ADD and understand completely about taking my meds to help with the fatigue. I am younger and don’t have heart issues but I can’t imagine not having that extra boost of energy to help get me through the day.
Sometimes I will not take it and just sleep all weekend to let my body rest. I went a year without it and didn’t have the energy to do much except small house chores and napping.
I’m sorry you are experiencing your doctor wanting to stop prescribing. They will prescribe all kinds of things with terrible side effects but get all weird about ADD meds. My dr now is not like that, thank goodness.
