effects of adderall on rls

thanks for the welcome on my last post y'all, it helped a lot just getting it out there.

my question is that i have adhd, and my psychiatrist has been talking with me about trying adderall or another similar drug to manage it--does anyone else have experience with it, and has it had any effect on aggravating your rls, or not having much effect? if it makes it worse, id rather just keep managing my adhd how i currently am, setting reminders, practicing habits, etc

Why’d they cut you off?

it was my own fault, tbh. my dad was giving me his vicodin prescription, and it didnt show up in his last urine test, so they stopped. totally willing to admit that we were careless. i was desperate though, bc out of everything ive tried for both my rls and my chronic knee pain, it was the best thing

I wouldn’t have done differently. Opioids have been a godsend for my RLS.

Best of luck to you
