I went through a trial of Adderrall for ADHD/Fatigue and it did a burn-out job on me,too.This drug is originally from the early 60,s used for weight control.It was marketed as Obitrol,then re-marketed years later as an ADD med.What makes it so harsh is the mixture of Amphetamine salts cause more CNS stimulation than Ritalin or Dexedrine.Ritalin made me feel sick and really depressed as it wore off.Dexedrine turned out to be the best for my case,less harsh side-effects.It,s been around longer than the others.Provigil has had some good results for many who don,t like the Amphetamines,but you better have insurance if you do get it,it is costly.I would at least give the Dexedrine a try(do the time-release spansule caps,maybe a 15mg. to start,or a 30mg. if you need more)If that,s too strong,try the Provigil.These can be very good and very helpful meds to people that really need them,the trick is getting the right med and dosage that,s best for YOU,and it can take time,but it can make all the difference in the world.Festus
