Is It Safe To Take Adderall For ADHD In A Patient Suffering From Brain Tumour?
I am on Disability Income and have state funded healthcare, that us NOT my question. I want to return to school and Finally get my BS in Liberal Arts. I wanted to be an educator but life happens. Now I have brain tumors. And I also have seizure disorder. My question is I have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and I know that Adderall is a medication that will allow the other 400 things running through my brain to SHUT-UP while I am focusing on the task at hand. Please help with my conversation with my Doctor.

Hello, This is a tough question. Your doctor may be reluctant to prescribe adderall because there is a chance it would increase your risk of seizures. You need to see a neurologist and have them assess the risk of seizure if you are put on adderall.
