Yes. Very much so. Using stimulant meds and have had supply chain issues. Even was told by pharmacist at one point that I should tell my doctor to just get me some therapy for my lack of focus thinking I had adhd. Let’s say I shouldn’t have to fight to get my treatment that isn’t working much anymore anyway.

When I read all the answers.... in the first instant it seems interesting but in reality these answers are the cries of the heart. I am on a handful of medicines. Before going to bed I take Alganax 0.5 mg and Quetvell 37.5 mg. These two medicines put me to an uneasy sleep. After breakfast I get an excessive day time sleep attack. I take Prohiper 10 mg to ease this attack. But it does not work well. The whole day I feel sleepy. But if I take a nap after breakfast then I feel much better. It is not very possible for me. Because 5 days a week I have to go earn my living. And then after lunch I have to take Dogmatil 15 mg. I like it or not, these medicines help me to continue my employment (I am a teacher). Overall the life is miserable. It is only through my strong faith (Christian), prayers, determination and will power that I am able to earn a piece of bread. Keep it up guys.... look upward..... God is great.

I was able to work well with THC at night, CBD in the morning, and 5 to 10 mg of methylphenidate during the day. Now, since the supply chain issues, I am up to 40 mg a day and still need naps and always sleepy.

I was prescribed Vyvanse and Adderall for years. Taking them caused permanent damage to my heart. Now I can’t take the stimulants. It’s tough to stay awake and do things from my brain wanting to sleep and my heart struggling to pump blood & oxygen through me. Be cautious with the narcolepsy meds.

Finding the right meds has been as frustrating for me as finding the right doctor has been. My Venlafaxine had been a lifesaver but efficacy is only about 60%. I was on Wakix for 3 months before docs failed to get pharmacy consent, after waiting 9 months and now 6 months without. I am not winning to start and stop meds due to medical.office ineptness. Therefore I continue to live in self isolation for self protection.it sucks!
