 I really feel like I need to go back on ADD medication to do well at school and work. But I never even thought to ask if we can take ADD medication after the surgery like ritalin or adderol or stratera? Anyone have any idea if this is okay for us?

Should be fine as long as it's not an extended release med.  The extended release meds won't hurt you if you take them, they just  probably won't help much, either.

I took Adderall ER.  I plan on going to the IR (immediate release) version when go back to work in a couple of weeks.  I may have to take it more often but that beats not at all.
