Thank you all for the information.
On the note of Provigil. I have taken it and it did not affect me what so ever. For the Hypersomnia it did not wake me up, keep me alert, or anything along those lines all it did was maintain a "non-asleep" like state. I would be exhausted both physically and mentally dying to fall asleep but not easily able to. If I went and lay down in a dark room I could, however I would not be able to fall asleep sitting in a car or lounging in a chair like I normally could when I was not taking the Provigil. For the ADD which is fairly mild it also did nothing. All in all I did not like the Provigil as it gave me the feeling as if I had stayed up for the past few days and was just running on sleep deprivation and caffine.
(though without the jitters and what not).Provigil was very foggy for me.Jerrympls-
you mentioned the Topamax. I am glad you did. Thank you. I don't think Topamax is the issue as I have been taking it for two years now and I have never had a problem with it. The only problem I have had is the same burning sensation you mentioned with carbonated drinks! I found this to be a blessing in disguise. I drank far to much soda before I began the Topamax and now I am unable to touch the stuff! I remember about a week after I had been taking the Topamax I was at a restaurant with my boyfriend and I ordered a coke and I kept sending it back thinking it was flat. I soon started experiencing the burning feeling whilst drinking as well. Strangest thing first it tastes like its been sitting out in the desert sun (still as can be) for weeks and then the drink burns like hell! Sometimes my boyfriend has a rootbeer and I can smell it(Oh it smells really good!) So I will taste it anyway, just because and just incase the burning has gone away. It never does. The drinks always taste bad and hurt. Severly limits your beverage choices. I am excited to hear that you experienced this as well. My neurologist had never heard of anyone have this sort of reaction. I am happy to know I am not the only one.Sorry about the digression. Thank you all for you input.
My psychopharm and I decided for me to try Klonopin. Since most of this is most likely anxiety related. I have a tendancy to notice eveything that goes on in my body. One ache and I notice more thus begins a vicious cycle. The mind can be very powerful. After I get used to the Klonopin begins more dosage adjustment.
Here is a thought womens hormones are constantly fluctuating, thus affecting their entire bodies. How do you think this affects the various stimulants such as Adderal, Ritialin, Concerta, Dexedrine, etc... You know them all.
I have my own thoughts. Just thought this might be a contributing factor.
