Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I have a friend with RA and FMS trying to get something prescribed now and the doctors wont do it since there is not a diagnosed attention condition. Apparently many of the drugs are very expensive and not all insurances cover it if its not for a specific condition. Its a good thing to try though and perhaps see if you have an attention disorder as well sb2boys wrote: Has anyone tried any ADD meds.? Did they help you? What did they help? Did they make anything worse or have side effects? I have a lot of trouble with lack of energy and trouble thinking and I'm wondering if this type of med. would help.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hello, I have Idiopathic Hypersomnolence along with CFIDS and Fibromyalgia. They tried me on Ritalin first. It was fantastic as I felt alive for several weeks. Then I developed severe stomach distress, and had to stop it. They tried Addreral and that made my heart go crazy. That was the end of that. Anyway, articles are now coming out that CHILDREN put on this medications are developing heart problems so I can't imagine what long term use would do to an adult. I am glad I am not on it now. Best to you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
