Avatar n tn Help! I have seen 16 drs who do not believe in chronic fatigue. I can not even get out of be and I have been on provigil and adderall neither of which help me at all. I have also been to the emergency and my thyroid is supposedly level. They just tell me that they can not do anything for me. Is there any help for me out there?
Avatar f tn They said I had Lymes and treated me with Rocephin 2 gm Iv for 28 days and DOXYCYCLINE 100mg po BID for 28 days. The muscle fatigue went away and joint pain but all my labs from quest were negative. My western blot,bortenella,Babesia,Q-Fever. Lymes specialist says a biofilm will form around the antibodies causing them to not show up. Is this true? I am still having pain under my left breast under ribs at times. My muscle do get tired easier. I am confused and do not know what to do.
Avatar m tn How are things going? Are you feeling any better? So often chronic fatigue is related to mental health things. Nutrition can definitely play a role though in lethargy. A good lab work up looking for the deficits that would cause this can be helpful. Here's some treatment info on the disorder. https://www.mayoclinic.
8398640 tn?1398042546 My neurologist prescribed me Adderall for fatigue. Has anyone else been prescribed this/has it helped? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I have been testing for Narcolepsy or hypersomnia for the excessive fatigue but no conclusive answer yet. Am on Pravogil which helps some. Taking huge doses of adderall XR and fast acting adderall twice a day with no help. Like taking candy. Cpap has helped since I also got sleep apnea about the same time. I am wondering with all the stress of the surgeries and the infection on my body it may be from the psoriasis?
Avatar f tn ve taken both Provigil and Adderall to help with the bad fatigue I get. I like Provigil a lot more than Adderall. It seems to have less severe side-effects for me. The only problem is that it causes my Irritable Bowel Syndrome to get out of control. So frustrating! Other than that, I would really recommend it. Best of luck to you, I hate the fatigue of this illness.
Avatar f tn Prolonged high doses of amphetamines followed by an abrupt cessation can result in extreme fatigue and mental depression. Chronic abuse of amphetamines can result in the manifestation of amphetamine psychosis.[1] I found this when i googled Adderall. Please talk with your doctor and tell him what is going on.
Avatar m tn not personal experience with adderall....but it is normal to feel fatigue with adderall wd...it is not life threatening and for the most part it is a mental wd vs narcotics being both/mental and physical...the fatigue is common among narc wds as both drugs supply extra endorphins to the brain//many feel fatigue after narcotic cessation to be a physical symptom like the runs...but it is a result of taking endorphins away and waiting on the brain to "catch up" on endorphin production....
Avatar f tn am sure I spelled it wrong. neuro wrote me prescriptions for this for fatigue. anyone have any experience with it before I take the plunge? Provigil isn't working but even if I double up the dose and take 2 provigils a day, that's $190 a month.....whew.
Avatar f tn I have been having chronic fatigue for a couple of years. Past year got so bad I almost had several MVA's. Finally went in and was tested. Severe sleep apnea and PLM's (alot of them). Cpap at 10cm helped daytime fatigue and I am sleeping better but still aytime fatigue. Provagil helps but not with driving. Ritalin, adderal not helping with that yet. Still testing for Hypersomnia vs Narcolepsy. Repeat sleep study showed very little Apnea but still some PLM's.
Avatar f tn Hey everyone! I just joined, so I hope i can get some help from people on here. I had problems for two years now, and went to many doctors with no help. All the doctors didn't have an answer for all my changes and problems. I did my research for two years and set up an appointment with an endo and demanded an ACTH test. First thing i said was "I think i have addisons disease." He laughed and asked why?
Avatar f tn I suffer from major depression. I have been on Adderall for about 7 years. I’m on 80mg daily. I’m still exhausted. Adderall to me is such a double edged sword. Years ago when I first started it I felt alive. I could function like a normal person for awhile. The effects began to wear off and my dose slowly increased. My highest daily dose I have ever been on was 90mg. Right now I really don’t think I would be able to get out of bed without the Adderall.
Avatar m tn Hello, all. I written before about suffering from leg tremors/spasms while standing up and while going down the stairs. I've also been suffering from extreme fatigue and brain zaps (especially while walking). My doctor started me on Adderall, 20mg twice a day on Wednesday. The first day, the Adderall made me a little more alert and even my symptoms were slightly reduced - although I did not put 2 and 2 together.
506259 tn?1228788619 After 3 days, I tried the adderall and like magic - no pain again. Can anyone explain this phenomenon. Did being on adderall for a year and a half create the fibro symptoms after completely off of it, and then after months of physical problems, taking a little relieved the horrible pain? I find nothing on this, and my psychiatrist said it is not typical by any means. However, this, in my personal case, is the honest to god truth.
806806 tn?1239513014 ve been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue and a pituitary microadenoma. Oh yea, depression too. I feel like **** at least 90% of my days. I get overwhelmed very easily, any stress to me can put me down for the day. Stress to me lately can be the phone ringing too much or traffic etc. Is there anyone with any advice on what to check or questions to ask. I'm wasting away.
14631020 tn?1436545476 There is Aderall, Provigal, and Nuvigil for fatigue. Exercise helps if you can do it. I have both MS and chemotherapy fatigue and I work out an hour 5 times a week. It does help.
Avatar f tn It is most likely the adderall that your feeling. I get the same feeling when I come off of it. But I am now taking Vyvanse which is the same thing, but only it lasts longer and there is almost no comedown. I still use the adderall when I need a quick boost. And like sandman2 said you may also need more sleep and also you might not be eating right. I don't know how you live at all except for what you said though.
Avatar f tn You should consult your doctor for a complete examination for rule out any of the serious causes for chronic fatigue. Meanwhile you can try improving your sleep pattern by trying relaxation exercises, improving the diet and having a calm sleeping environment. Some of the depression medications can also sleep disturbances and hence you should discuss with your doctor about those. Take care, Regards.
Avatar f tn I also had another Dr. try to treat me with adderall for ADD. I switched drs and none of my current ones feel this is the problem. . my worst symptom is probably the cognitive issues. However, I am having difficulty in expressing this to my Drs who tend to write it off as anxiety or a "distracted" feeling because I hurt. I feel it is more than that. I feel it is an actual symptom, a strong feeling that I have a hard time putting into words.
