I can be quite talkative most times, but I need serious quiet time alone & some days, like you, while I still feel happy, I'm just not talkative. I like to think of it as a varied personality - never dull. Some of us just need to regroup from too much social stimulation.
Adrafinil isn't prescribed for me - it's not a prescription drug in Europe but is only available there, not in North America. I have narcolepsy (but not so severe that I fall over asleep while standing up) that interferes with my daily activity. If I'm not continuously active, I'll want to sleep & even then I'll crave my bed desperately. I can be working hard & active & yawn & yawn till the tears are running down my face & my nose is all congested. That can go on most of the day. I also have ADHD & mild/moderate depression. Adrafinil looks after all those problems for me, but not all people benefit from it like I do. I do know that Iago Camboa enjoys its benefits like I do.
When I've taken Ativan, it just puts me to sleep too, but Xanax (alprazolam) doesn't - it relaxes me, but others experience just the opposite. Each med can affect different people so differently.
I've never exaggerated or lied about how I've felt to doctors but it can be hard to find a doctor who believes you without thinking you are making it up. That's why I can't bother arguing the issue & just order my adrafinil on-line. I never expected to receive the other benefits I do from it - I was just looking for something to keep me awake.
