I have the same question about Adderrall, been on it for years, but wonder if it's a problem with Lyme?

I normally like to search to back up my answers with various expert quotes, links & explanations, etc. but I'm just too tired now. I'm shooting from the hip because I am so very certain:

Dexedrine is Dextroamphetamine, a psychostimulant pharmaceutical.

Key term there is "stimulant" - "speed" in effect.

NO - NOT SAFE with lyme. Absolutely not.

Dexedrine can be toxic to the nerves of those with lyme, causing deep cellular "mitochondria" damage from over stimulation

and Dexedrine can cause adrenal failure.

When lyme and all that goes with that is addressed, cognition should improve.

Adrenal support can also really help.
