So I've tried amantadine, ALC/ALA, Nuvigil, and Provigil (which actually seemed like a miracle the first few days, but then the effects went away) with no success. My neuro already discussed with me that if the Provigil didn't work, he'd write me an rx for the Adderall.
I'm getting worried. I called the office today to see about getting the rx, and the guy on the phone said that Adderall is pretty much their last option. After nothing else has worked, I'm scared this won't either. Then what? Just keep suffering? I can't keep doing this. I wake up every day wishing that it was over. All I ever think about is that I can't wait to go back to bed. This isn't exactly the way I want to live my life. It's ridiculous.
I've known Adderall is a stimulant, but I never even thought to ask about its effects on the heart. To those of you who take it, does it ever cause your heart to race? I get palpitations every once in a while and it is actually pretty common that I feel like my heart skips a beat (went to a cardiologist a couple years ago, not bad enough to require treatment). Should I worry that it might make things worse? The only thing my neuro mentioned about the drug was that it may be habit forming, so pharmacies are really strict with the rx. The guy today didn't mention anything either.
Sorry I've been asking so many questions and complaining about things lately. Nobody in my real world gets me, and I feel like talking to the neuro about things is useless too since he can only see that I'm doing great
