I'm currently at a standstill regarding medication. I've taken Modafinil since I was diagnosed. At first it was like drinking an expresso, but lasting around 5 hours. Unfortunately
I started Wakix about a year later. Also great at first, but totally different effect. It makes it easier to use my brain/memory (lifting this layer of fog - don't know how to describe it), but that doesn't help me a lot when I'm too tired to pay attention.
With both of those my only side effect is dizziness if I move too fast after taking them (I took my second Modafinil during PE, had to sit down/stand around for a bit).
Sunosi I tried December-February (to replace Modafinil). At first it worked a bit better than Modafinil. But after coming back from an active vacation, I found that it numbed my emotions a lot. I didn't find any Motivation and all in all was kinda back to my 6th grade state.
I did an ADHD test (which basically turned out in-between and was kind off a letdown in itself), hoping to maybe get my doctor to try something else, but apparently I'm too "nervous energy" (think it might have been for Xyrem)? Like, I'm anxious, but I strongly disagree with "nervous energy" - I'm literally sitting around most of the day trying to get stuff done.
Also wanted to get tested for ASD. Got a pretty rude response from the centre I was referred to (they only take people from that state and I live directly at the border). Haven't found the courage to call one of the like five places that are less than 2h away since then.
Sorry for rambling, I have a tendency.
