Summary
An Australian Reddit user with CFS, POTS and small fiber neuropathy described mental exhaustion and brain fog so bad they could only sit through the day. Salt, fluids and vitamins B, C, D and magnesium made no difference. Wellbutrin taken for a few days caused dizziness and insomnia, so they stopped, and they noted Adderall is illegal where they live and doctors can only prescribe it for very specific conditions.
