We had tried several medications none of which worked for me. I had bad reactions to all of the stimulants and the nonstimulant meds just didn't work at all.
It got to the point where he was suggesting I try this or that, but only because he didn't know what to do, he had little faith that anything was going to work for me. The last straw was he wanted to try some really expensive meds and send me for a sleep evaluation. The cost of the evaluation was well into the thousands, and it seemed to me it would be unlikely to turn anything up anyway.
So, since the early spring I haven't been on drugs. I manage things better now than I did before I knew about my condition. If I have a bad day I take a caffeine pill, or drink a coke. It seems to work out most of the time, and is gentle on my system.
