does anyone take adderall or provogil?

Do you feel a distinct energy from Adderall? My husband has been on Ritalin

for YEARS for his ADD. He is having fatigue problems not normal.

Initially, yes, I did experience a boost in energy, but now I can take

20-40mg (prescribed three 20mg tablets per day, taken as I see fit, I

usually take 40mg in AM and 20mg 4-6hr later) and go right back to bed.

It slightly lessens the fatigue most days, but does nothing on bad days.

No, I wouldn't say it provides " distinct energy " .

My fatigue developed while I was already taking Adderall. I don't believe

stimulants work very well on CFIDS (aka CFS) related fatigue.

If you are wondering how your husband can be SO fatigued on Ritalin, I

don't have the answer. If you're wondering if he is as tired as he claims,

he's probably far more sleepy and/or fatigued than he'll EVER admit.

If I may ask, what dose of methylphenidate is he on and how often does he

take it?

Does he ever go off of it for a couple of days at a time? Some people think

that the break helps stave off tolerance. (This should only be done with

prescribing doctor's approval and I am not recommending anyone do this or

not do this, just asking a question)
