I'll try to make this as brief as I possibly can. I'm a 39 year old female who has had diabetes for 31 years. I have been through a kidney transplant and am currently trying to get myself on an islet cell transplant. I was placed on Provigil and Zoloft in the beginning but was then taken off the 400mg of Provigil, decreased the Zoloft by 3/4's of my dose and placed on Prestiq. I am now on Adderall (20mg) and it has done nothing for my energy level. This is so extreme that I don't know how I can continue to take care of my 3 year old daughter and husband. As the poster said above, I have to talk myself into getting into the shower. I'm going to see my psych tomorrow and ask him to increase the adderall. I am very concerned about addiction but if there is a "miracle" pill out there for me that will allow me to have some sort of normalcy to my life, I'm going to take it. What other option DO I have? My main concern is the Dr. thinking I'm wanting the dosage increased for the "high". All I want is to be able to go grocery shopping, cook a meal, and play with my daughter before diabetes takes my life or she's too old enough TO care if I play with her. I just wish there was a miracle cure for all of this. FYI, all other "fatigue related" maladies have been ruled out. Thanks for any input and letting me vent. Sorry for the book, people. :) Courtney
