Exclamation Taking adderall/exams post concussion
Hi!

I received a concussion 1 week ago today. I have had a mild/medium headache and sensitivity since. Today is the first day I have woken up without any symptoms (tho they have came back a touch since hopping on my computer). I am supposed to take my corporate finance exam (one of the trickiest I will probably take in university) this Friday. I have ADHD and normally take 15mg of Adderall 1/2x on weekdays. I have not taken my meds all week and am afraid they will make my symptoms worse. Is this generally the case?

I have had 5 concussions over the past 8 years and this is the fastest I have felt recovered, probably because I havent tried to do any schoolwork/excersize + I have been sleeping/napping and taking Advil.

Should I push my exam off more? Is it safe to take Adderall?

You can try the site search past posts on meds - https://www.neurotalk.org/search.php

Were your concussions from a sport?
If so are you still playing?
