I had a similar experience. I was taking it for idiopathic hypersomnia. At first it was a miracle drug, and then after only a few months it made me feel like absolute shit. Just - my whole body feeling bad, in a bad mood, etc. Hard to describe.

I’ve asked my doctor for a prescription so that I could use it to go on stimulant breaks, but since I already have a prescription for Vyvanse and Adderall he was concerned I’d get drug audited. The last time I tried to find a good online Indian source it seems it’s very hard to find anything legit.



You may already know this, but Pitolisant is a new non-stimulant medication that could be helpful.

People either love it or find that it does nothing for them, so don’t get your hopes up too high. However, for patients who respond it seems to be a great improvement. Be warned that it can take a long time for the positive effects to appear. Unlike stimulants that work well on the first day and decline over the subsequent months/years, it seems to do very little or have uncomfortable side effects on the first few days and then reveal the positives after a month.

And FYI, there’s a weird copayment reimbursement program from the manufacturer that makes it affordable for many. Dumb game to have to play, but it’s there.
