Hi Lori,

 

As I am not a physician, it is impossible to answer your question- you really need to discuss this with yours. Also, you don't mention which meds you are on for your fibromyalgia and disk disease. There are many people who have both fibro and ADHD who are being treated for both, but without knowing what meds you currently are on, I wouldn't be able to tell you if I know of others who are on the same meds.

 

Best bet is to discuss with your doctor and if you're still not certain, to get a second opinion.
