Nearly two weeks on Adderall, and it seems to be working pretty good. I have had a few days of breakthrough fatigue, which really made mad! I don't want the fatigue at ALL!!!. The first week was great! I had so much energy, I could get through the day without any fatigue, and still feel good in the evenings. I didn't feel shaky, or "high" (thank You Lord!). I have been able to keep up with the house work, which is a nice plus. But I notice if I don't pace myself, the day after, whew! I feel it! So, I think I will ask my doctor if we can up the dosage. I'm only on 5mg. a day. So, I think it will be safe. The great thing is though, when I'm ready for bed, it doesn't keep me up! That's a nice plus! I haven't had insomnia or anything. I can take a nap, if needed. . .although, I refuse!!!!
But I do push myself, which is probably why I sleep so well at night! LOL! I am just so tired of feeling tired! So anyway, I have a neuro appointment on thursday and I've decided not to go, I don't see the point. I was supposed to get a CT scan before this appointment to check on the supposed tumor on my brain, and haven't had one done. I have gone over and over it, and I know I will just lose my temper with her. I am just going to file a grievance against her. I am going to ask my regular doctor if he can order a CT scan and then we can go from there. Yes Suzanne, I want to come to NY and see your neuro!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, we had a great one. Lots of family and laughter. Now on to Christmas!!! I've already got my decorations up!! LOL! pntnpnt would be proud! LOL! We bought an artificial tree this year, i've never had an artificial tree, always said I'd NEVER have one! But now I do, hehehe. Actually, it's quite beautiful, it's all white, with bright decorations all over it. It's pre-lit, so I don't have to string lights on it. . .a big plus! And my kids actually said its the prettiest tree we've ever had! Go figure!? (At least it's not silver). I collect snowmen, so I have them up all over my house, they are so cute with their little smiles ;). My husband actually decorated outside which he absolutly hates to do! Whats going on here???? Guess he caught the bug. Well, this is just turning into rambling. So, I close for now. Hugs for you all! LOVE and KISSES!

Sheri, I am soooo glad you are feeling better, I am awaiting the day I get to see the specialist. I been in bed 3 days unable to function. Today I am able to get on DS but still yuky.
Sounds like you are in the Christmas spirit and had a good tukey day too!
