Migraines have mostly subsided, thank god.
But now i am left with the inability to function as one would consider a "normal" day-to-day schedule.
How do you other sufferers deal with this?

was diagnosed being bi-polar & could be depressed or at times have anxiety...(over 20yrs ago)... they prescribed me Xanax for the anxiety to take at night-but had jet lag in the mornings,,,so caffeine'd up to get going.
Tried anything from Prozac,Zoloft,Lexapro,Depakote,etc.....but all seemed to make me tired.
After i had a knee replacement 3+ years ago,,,found myself really low on energy & even nodding off driving home from work.
My doc tried me on Vyvanse & what a huge difference that made,,,,boosted energy & focous afer about 2 hours & last all day w/no side effects,,,,i had to cut caffeine intake some to keep from being over-charged....but it works for me.
morning 30mg.Vyvanse & 3mg Xanax in evening......kinda sounds like doping/but i function well during the day & rest well at night.
As to some-this may sound extreme,
Both meds come in lower & higher doses...& at 6'5"+ 255+lbs. this is currently working for me.
