Has anyone found a good med for fatigue? I have tried a few things the last being, Phentermine,which is actually prescribed as a diet pill. The problem is I take the meds and get jittery, go crazy cleaning then crash. But when I do fall asleep I only stay asleep for a few hours and I am back up but not rested. I know I am looking for a miracle but I want something to just keep me awake throughout the day, and still be able to sleep at night. Anyone found this miracle I seek?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
good luck to you.

morning, will usually take me through the whole day, but just as if I were normal.
I don't seem tired but I know if I would
lay down I would fall asleep, & don't really
have a problem falling asleep at night (or
actuallly anytime LOL)
I was on Ritilan, because of the cost of
provigil & was not covered under insur.
until after I reached my $6000 per yr (per
person) deductible, but it did not seem
to work as well for me.
Maybe one of these will help you.
Good luck. :) Julie
I don't take it every day because I'm afraid that my body will get too used to it to quickly if I do.
I've noticed that it does a good job of keeping me alert without having jitters or racing heart, but when my symptoms are in full swing I can still feel somewhat tired, even when taking the Provigil.
Give it a try, it might work great for you!
Just thought I would let you know that can be a side affect ;) Oh yeah I kept taking it and it only got worse lol. So its not one of those side affects (atleast for me) that gets better the more u take it ;)
I wish you well, it does work well for fatigue tho ...
