Summary
A 31-year-old described several years of fatigue that had left them behind in every part of life, while still working full time and able to function eight-hour days when motivated. They had recently been prescribed 20 mg Adderall; it gave enough energy to start the day, but they could still sleep through the day. They planned three months of overwork to change their situation and mentioned having had Lyme disease growing up.
