A member asked:

Are stimulants good for someone with poor working memory?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly.: Fatigue and sleepiness can often be related to poor working memory, and in these cases stimulants are sometimes helpful. Stimulants have possible side effects; the benefits and risks should be discussed with you by your physician.
