Has anyone used ritalin to help combat the fatigue associated with tbi / pcs?

Its been over 1.5 years since my accident and even with extensive assistance with my occupational therapist with reducing my workload, ensuring good sleep and resting habits, good pacing strategies, etc, the fatigue is still overwhelming and interfering with moving forward.

My physiatrist has prescribed ritalin for me to try to see if it will help with the fatigue. He has warned me that while it may give me a boost of energy, its not really adding to my overall available energy reserves and its still a matter of "robbing Peter to pay Paul" and that I'll still have to make it up in resting time, but that my awake time may be more effective.

Just wondering if anyone has tried it and what experiences you've had.

I'm a bit nervous about it, but I'm so tired of being tired.

I've also been extremely drug sensitive since my injury and we've tried many different drugs to help my 1.5 year long excruciating headache and I've still not had a single moment without pain, so at this point, ANY relief of any symptoms would just be so very welcome.
