> Molybdenum: Have you done anything to address the sleep apnea? Besides that, you might look into the methylphenidate patch (if it's available for you) which might take care of the bumpiness.
>Thanks cumulative,
the sleep apnoea is central type, most often seen in cases of head injury or congestive heart failure - neither of which I have. CPAP makes CSA worse. There's a pseudo-respirator on the market but I just cannot tolerate it. Hence all I can do is try to survive on less quality sleep & boost my days with stims.
I'm really sick of MP though. Taking 10mg every 60-90 mins is the same as a patch or the other pricey slow release forms. I always preferred the modafinil but the cost made it prohibitive for me.
Re Calis's ADD, I don't know whether there's any advantage of MP over modafinil for this particular disorder. If they'll both work, then my suggestion is to ditch the MP. I think the dexamphetamine is good too but more rarely prescribed due to it's perceived increased potential for dependence.
