Fall-
Wow, I just went and picked up a script and some samples of provigil! I hope it works for me also. However, I am exploring physiological causes also. I started thyroid medication about six months ago. I had done enough research to know that thyroid and adrenal problems often go hand-in-hand and asked the endo to test my adrenal but he didn't. After feeling great for about 6 weeks, I began to relapse into lethargy and sleepiness. I understand this often happens when the thyroid is treated but not the adrenal fatigue. So, perhaps if I can get my baseline metabolic issues corrected, medications like strattera won't totally wipe me out. At least it's not like my effexor experience-I was sleeping 15 hours a day! What are the biochemics behind sleepiness or are there many?
Thanks!
