Summary
Coast 99657 reports ADHD, fibromyalgia and the symptom of chronic fatigue, and thinks they may have mild ME/CFS. Stimulant medication gave them much more energy, but brought a bad burnout at the end of the day or a few days later. The side effects, a faster heartbeat, much worse anxiety and worse sleep, were too much to want to keep using the drugs.
