does adhd normally result in chronic fatigue?
perhaps not officially but fatigue is top of the list of symptoms dopamine of dopamine deficiency, and adhd is very strongly linked to dopamine deficiency.
I was certainly suffering from fatigue for a very long time.
if i had adhd, would i not have a postiive reaction to methylphenidate?
not necessarily; medication is ineffective in a very large proportion of cases. It was borderline ineffective for me, and actually, seriously increasing my protein intake has been more effective!
which i didn't.
I've been reading a lot of material on some forms of chronic fatigue, which seems to be effectively treated with and nri..... + l-phenylalaline (incorrect spelling).
So i tried adding l-phenylalaline - 1000mg daily, starting this morning.
phenylalanine should help with dopamine production, but why not just eat more high protein foods?
will see how that goes.
any help?
other meds are:
45 mg remeron
70 mg lofepramine (desipramine pro-drug
looking up research on those drugs it looks like they could be helpful for adhd/low dopamine. Do they help at all? )
