My friend has very bad brain fog from a physical condition. It’s so bad she often pauses when she speaks like a YouTube video trying to buffer on a bad internet connection and she told me she wants to be more like her former self. She’s on medication for the condition, but the brain fog is one symptom that persists. She wants some good insight on how effective amphetamines are for brain fog in the non-ADHD population. She could only find people who have both ADHD and brain fog which could skew things. She doesn’t have ADHD, just brain fog.

    She should discuss that with a doctor instead of self-medicating with addictive substances.

      She’s looking to mention her brain fog and how she needs it to improve on her next appointment. It’s often prescribed for brain fog in some places. Her brain fog is bad enough that directions like left/right take up to 5 seconds to compute and she keeps telling me how embarrassing it is
