      Treatments

      Dexedrine Working / Worked
      It worked but after many years I went off to have kids
      Provigil Working / Worked
      Tried this one but it caused extreme anxiety. No point in being awake if I feel like I'm about to take an important exam all the time!
      Ritalin Working / Worked
      Been on this for 14 years. Slow release seems to work best. Effectivness has not worn off much. Causes rise in Blood pressure otherwise OK
