Oh My God, I did about 3 months ago.

Felt like I drank 20 cups of coffee.... WIRED, jittery, uptight, anxious

but still tired.

FINALLY it wore of at 1 AM (I usually go to bed at 9 PM).

Not for me! It's not so bad feeling tired after all, hahaha!

It is expensive, too....about 7 bucks a pill here. Ask for a sample from your

Rheumy.

Good luck, let me know, it is not the artificial feeling that I want to

have...

But I need something.

By 8 PM I am dead to the world...

I tried Cortisol and I didn't notice any difference. I see a new

rheumy in a week (had to change due to insurance changes), so I will

ask them about adderall, ritalin, or provigil. I took adderall in

college and I don't remember it making me feel jittery. If my rheumy

is hesitant, I might ask my PCP. Thanks.

We tried Ritalin after getting a note that our son was regressing in OT and having a hard time focusing. For him, it made things worse. The aggression soared and his teacher reported that he was not able to attempt to resolve conflicts and constantly had his hands balled up into fists.

After that, we decided not to try anything else, because we did not want to put him through it.
