Re: Ritalin, Stimulant Question?

Gloria, I have the fatigue/apathy problem too. When I was put on Wellbutrin(which is supposed to be "activating"), I was still exhausted! Finally, my Pdoc decided to go with a stimulant. I can't take Ritalin(tried with previous Pdoc), because I was abusing it. So, he put me on Adderall, which I find very helpful. I take 10 mgs. three times per day, which is a medium size dose(I think the highest is 60mgs/day). It seems very gentle to me, I almost can't tell a difference *except* I am able to get off my butt and do things. It actually helps my anxiety, because if I'm getting a lot "done", I have less to worry about doing! Anyway, it is definitely worth your while to ask your Pdoc if you can at least have a small amount of a stimulant to "try". good luck!CarolAnn
