Not me, Ive never heard of this. But NOTHING helps my fog. Best of luck to you though.

My husband has taken adderall for some time. He is diagnosed with Addisons disease and is rapid cycling bipolar. His psych doctor gives it to him for energy and if hefocuses better than thats a gimmie. again, this is thru his psych doc. His general doc will not prescribe it for him because he is taking it off label.. Hope this helps you figure it out. Good luck.

I started taking a whole food vitamin called Alive Whole Food Energizer. I can honestly say it has helped with the fog and energy level. It took several weeks to maybe a month to notice, but that's the only new thing I added, so I really think that's it.

Fish oil changes my life! It's safe, relatively inexpensive and doesn't hurt to give it a try:) And it's good for many other health issues too, especially the heart.

My primary doctor prescribed Adderall, she said that they had been using it for people who cannot afford Provigil. I had tried Provigil and Nuvigil, but I hated the way it made me feel. Kinda like a wide awake zombie, I was awake but had aboslutely no energy to do anything. Basically I sat on the couch and staring forward with a blank mind. Then after 3-5 days the migrains would start and I would be in bed for a week.

Adderall gave me energy to the point that I had hopes of maybe going back to work part time, and my mind was starting to work better. I had been taking Adderall for my Fibro Fatigue for almost 6 weeks, when I crashed big time. I fell to sleep behind the wheel about 2hrs after I took my morning Adderall dosage. I didn't even realize I was that tired. I knew I was tired, but then again I am always tired.

My theory is that I had stored up a little bit of energy in my cells from juicing for over 6mths. Then when I started taking Adderall I felt more energy, but in reality I was only depleating the stores that I worked so hard to produce. I will not take Adderall anymore, or any sleep medicine. I am working to get myself off of my Cymbalta. I don't want to take anymore medications I coming to believe that meds only work against me. I will continue to try and heal myself by the foods I eat and the life that I lead.

I don't know if I have any answers, I hope you find what you are looking for.
Good Luck

@Rapunzel & Colly: Thanks for the replies!

@lizzy: Hrm...I will look into that. I googled the product, and it looks interesting.

@Dixie: I am already on fish oil, but my doc told me it was for general inflammation. But that's interesting to know it helps w/the fibro-fog too...if I were not already on it, it would probably be worse!

@Spacegirl: That is disappointing, but good to know...and unfortunately inline with the negative things I had read. How long did it take to kick in? I am wondering if it something that could be taken as needed (e.g. just on days w/the bad fibro-fog) to avoid the crash you experienced....

It seemed to help right away, but I don't even want to try. I feel like it set me back alot further than it was worth. But you may have a point, it would be nice on those days that I have to go somewhere to have energy. But now I will always worry when it will zap me with no forwarning.

My dr actually had to talk me into trying it. I don't know your doctor would react, maybe you could mention that you had read of people taking it for their FibroFog. At least that way you are not asking for it, or print out articles and take them in. Ask your doctor if he thinks it would help for a day or two at a time and not to take it every day.

i have not taken anything that helps fibro fog.all i know is that i am on a lot of meds already.i try to read,but its so frustating because i have to read the same sentence over over,again.i can barely write anymore when i do write you can only guess what it says.fibro fog has stolen too much from me,it has totaly messed uo all my commutication skills.i can say this just as pain has good and bad days ff works the same way.i want my brain to be right.what would it help if i didnt have pain anymore,my brain would not allow me to accept it.be blessed grammie.

@Spacegirl: That sounds like a good idea...I will try to broach the topic that way, and see what happens...

@Grammie: Ugh, that is so rough. I can totally relate to what you are saying about reading the same sentence over...and over...and over... I know I should feel lucky that my fibrofog isn't that bad all of the time, but the days it is its just so frustrating. Thank you for sharing with me...all the support from you and the others on this group sure helps. :)
