MS and ADHD meds

Hi all, I wanted to ask in case any of you might already know or can point me in the right direction: I have been looking into ADHD meds, in preparation for my upcoming assessment, and I wanted to see if there are reasons I can't take any of the meds available to me here in the UK. I may be unable to take stimulant medication due to potential heart and thyroid issues, so I figure I should look into the MS as well. I'm currently taking Copaxone so, if there's any reason I shouldn't take any of the following (either due to MS itself or the medication interactions), please let me know. - Methylphenidate (Ritalin/ Concerta) - Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse/ Elvanse) - Dexamfetamine (Adderall) - Atomoxetine (Strattera) - Guanfacine (Tenex/ Intuniv) Thank you 🌺

Hey @Amalthea, i used ritalin for adhd and gp said it was fine. Neuro actually thought it could keep me from not running ahead of myself, triggering symptoms. But when i know i jùst need that little bit of bravado or energy when i'm standing in front of a classroom, i leave them pills at home.

I was recently prescribed Vyvanse for fatigue. My 2 most significant symptoms are dizziness and fatigue. The Vyvanse makes the dizziness a bit worse but is making a big difference with the fatigue. So far I'm really impressed and have no regrets.
