Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Althouth I am against pharmaceuticals for the most part, I have experienced enormous relief when I take Adderall - which is an amphetamine mix. There have been numerous accounts of these drugs helping people with Fibromyalgia (which I guess is really Lyme? or Mercury?) Anyway, what I think is going on is that Lyme/mercury affix to the brain and mess with all the chemicals - particularly dopamine. Since dopamine regulates pain levels when this is " treated " the pain significantly reduces along with a whole host of other improvements. See www.add-fibromyalgia.com for a more indepth explanation. I guess the trick is cleaning all the toxins from the brain - be it mercury or Lymes. Anybody know anything about all this?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Have you ever had a sleep study done? You might have a sleep disorder like sleep apnea or narcolepsy. Suzy [ ] Re: Adhd Medication and Relief of Symptoms I feel just like you do . I would rather not take medication but I also take a small dose of adderall and then if it dones not keep me awake I can take provigil. I wait to see if I am going to get sleepy later in the day before I take the Provigil. I took just it for a long time but last year I got to where I was to drowsey to function again so the dr added the adderall but it is only 10mg. I also take Neurontin and it has been the only thing that helped the spacyiness. Sleepiness has been one of my worst symptoms and for a long time I could say that ony my head was tired not my body. Now its all tired and hurts. I wonder if anyone else has ever felt like they just had a tired head? I cannot say just how bad I slept. My daughter was in kindergarden and now she is graduating collage this spring but for several years all I could do was get her to school and late sleep then pick her up late in the afternoon because I had slept all day then sleep some more. I would try to cook and put something on the stove and sleep and sometimes burn things up. I would have to rool the car windows down in the winter so I would not fall aseep driving. I have nodded out so many times. I had a sleep study and it was not anything diagnostic. Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
