yes adderall won't hurt, the only thing yes it's stimulant, amphetamine, there was poster here in his 60s or later, they were on 60mg of d-amphetamine, it defeintly can act as an antidepressant and improve energy levels and cognitive, but my only i think a stim too much stimulation on nervous system with being 60s could rattle it up. Adderall or amphe ampos up your nervous system, ans stimulation begins but if it's too much or continued high dosees, it caan damage or shortly impair cognitive function. But that's mainly if abuse it, and take high doses all time. Just be careful and don't maximize nervous system stimulation, it should work fine
ritalin or methylphenidate, or focalin d-methylphenidate would be better, because it has less major stim on nervous system. Adderall is good medication but it bumps nervous system firing up, ritalin or focalin is less harsh
but if your already prescribed adderall, just take it, i don't think anything would go wrong, only thing i hated about adderall is when it wore, tired and irritable. Talk to your doctor about dosing timing to prevent this
