I am only 20 years old and I have scholiosis, interstitial cystitis in my bladder which is severely painful, and I have chronic headaches. My doctor put me on this and it works wonders for my headaches and my back aches. It works for my bladder as well when it flaires up, I think it is a very good medication! Its changed my life!

I have Addison's Disease and I take 30mg of Adderall in the morning and 10 mg at noon and if I need it, 10mg in the evening. I have alot of anxiety because I don't produce the Hormone Cortisol.
