wow. OK, I know *nothin* about brain injury, but Adderall can make you an angry, on-edge person. I read a little review on the (very extensive, decades-long) literature on amphetamines. Dude, even when benzedrine and dexedrine were relatively new on the market (20s and 30s), shrinks noticed that some "normals" were more on edge. At low doses, it was observable, but the patients weren't always aware of it.
I don't know what you could use instead. Some kind of methylphenidate (Ritalin, concerta, etc.), maybe? Maybe Dexedrine or Vyvanse?
There's the meth option (Desoxyn). That stuff is very expensive and not commonly prescribed. However, in a case like yours where you need stimulation w/ fewer side effects and the doses might go high, it might be a good option if you're up for multiple doses during the day (I think 3). Lower doses are used, so there's fewer physical sides and I think there's more of an antidepressant+euphoric effect. Not sure though.
Anyway, I'm clearly not writing your prescriptions. Just thought I'd throw those little tidbits your way.
