Wendy,
I did not adivse Buster to "fake" symptoms, if you will give my post more than a shallow reading. I know, for example, that many CFS/FM patients suffer needlessly. . . when they do indeed qualify as ADD, and if that is what is needed to get a Dex Rx, some FM patients are getting smart enough to demand it. Dex is a key, *key* med. The "stimulants" are pure sources of dopamine, and dopamine is crucial to pain reduction, muscle activity, alertness, pleasure, focus, satisfaction.
If one cannot tolerate or get relief from Wellbutrin, there is no choice but to get into stims. . .and deal with all the nonsense horse puckey surrounding the issue of getting an Rx for -- gasp, naughty naughty, meth addict -- Dexadrine. Or Adderall.Use of these agents deserves and warrants no shame or judgement, and they are vastly underutilized for emotionally bogus and factually incorrect reasons. Period.
