I had called already called my pdoc to send me another prescription for 5mg which I didn't get til Tuesday. I was afraid to try it; I felt like I only had enough fortitude in me for one more stimulent trial so I was holding out for adrafinil. Then when that didn't come--I had totally crashed and went with my pdoc's suggestion, topomax.
So I didn't give the regular dexadrine a fair trial. (I still have the prescription). Did you ever receive your adrafinil? (I thought you had ordered it). Anyway, someone on the board was kind enough to e-mail me that she would send me some, but at this point I'm so afraid of any more side effects, that I'm going to wait a while and see if the topamax kicks in. I'm so low and so scared that we're thinking maybe hospitalization till the meds kick in, but I have so much work to do, and I want to go to New Mexico (I try to go every year) in early September. So I'm trying to get through this. Shellie
