Brentitude, I would almost bet your doctor will consider trying Concerta on a trial basis. Years ago, my son used ritalin and it was the same problem for him. It only lasts 4 hours at a time. Concerta? For me, I get about 9- 10 hours out of it. I use ‘regular’ ritalin for my evening hours if I really want or need focus for it.
Quiz, I once used amitriptyline but it was prescribed for helping me fall asleep at night and to help with what the doctor had thought was fibromyalgia. It didn’t help with either (especially since one of them wasn’t even fibro). Hopefully you’ll get some good results with your new meds since obviously treating you with prozac wasn’t hitting the root cause of your symptoms either.
