Hi again, Yes, I still hate this disease. Another day, still hate it. I take provigil - 400mg a day. Don't know that it's doing squat for me. Sigh. Has anyone tried DAYTRANA for fatigue? It is used for ADHD (like provigil is) - it is also used for treatment of narcolepsy. My psychiatrist mentioned it to me when I told him the provigil wasn't cutting it - and he suggested I mention it to my neuro (since other ADHD meds are often used for the fatigue). I'm looking into it - as I had gastric bypass several years ago - and I don't always absorb all pills properly - and things that are supposed to be long or extended release don't really do their job rights. Daytrana is actually a skin patch - so it wouldn't need to be absorbed through the stomach. I will ask my neurologist tomorrow when I see him....but I'm curious if anyone has heard of it or tried it, etc.  What other meds have people tried for fatigue besides provigil? I know amantadine/Symmetrel is also used.... Any others? I heard someone once say prozac has been used...but I'm already on another antidepressant. LOL. Anyhow...last Sunday I felt great - I went to brunch with friends....then I got into my car to drive home - and felt like a piece of dead wood - I couldn't move to even drive home. I had to sit in my car for over 25 minutes before I could muster up the energy to drive - and that was on the provigil!  (And I ain't NEVUH speechless!)~Keri ps/we need to work with neurotalk to get some more funky icons on here!  |
