Ritalin, Topomax, Adrenal Failure, Exhaustion
I have been diagnosed with ADHD and Adrenal Fatigue. I take 5 20mg Ritalin in the morning. I also take 100mg. Of Topomax at night for prevention of migraines. I am exhausted ALL the time. The Ritalin barely keeps me awake till noon. I've tried both Provigil and Nuvigil and both made me tired. Adderal did the same as the Ritalin. Any ideas??? I'm sleeping my life away!
