My insurance company will not pay for Nuvigil or provigil.....they want me to try Adderall or concerta.
Anyone here taken either of these, and did they help?

Hi daisy.girl,
Adderall is Dextroamphetamine and Amphetamine Concerta is Methylphenidate (Ritalin) Out of the two I have used Adderall. I did like it but I have paradoxical reactions with stimulants so I am unable to use them. Stimulants make me more tired.

Sometimes it is just a matter of trial and error. Not sure how this translates into your needs but would I guess either would be a decent place to start and if neither helps you might be able to challenge the insurance company for something else. Best of luck to you. Snoopy do you have ADHD? ![]()

Why? Because stimulants make me more tired?
![]() The clear and unclutteredness of mind I recieve from stimulants is amazing but I can't handle the increase in fatigue ![]()

![]() Just thought I'd throw that out there although its ironic I would do it tonight when my suggestion that the other MS board moderators remind posters to watch giving medical advice just earned me yet another passive aggressive retort. ![]()
