fatigue meds

I've taken Provigil. It didn't work for me at all.
I've been taking Amanatine for the last three years (100mg 3xday) and up until a month ago, it worked relatively well.

Now it's as if I'm not taking anything. Fatigue is always present.

Any ideas?

Sleepily,
Niko

Niko,

My wife has used Prokarin for over 5 years and it has helped her fatigue a great deal. It also relieves several of her other MS symptoms. It doesn't work for everyone but it does work for her.

You can read up on it at www.edmsllc.com and click on the "research" text. It isn't inexpensive but is painless to use (transdermal patch) and you usually know within a couple of weeks whether it will do anything for your fatigue. It can be difficult to obtain a prescription and only certain licensed compounding pharmacists are able to make it. If nothing else is working you might consider it.

Hi Niko!

Don't forget about ALCAR, that is unless you've already tried it. Wink

It's over the counter in the US.

Another med that people forget about is Prozac. It has a stimulate that seems to help with fatigue. It has helped mine.
