Hello,
This would honestly change my life if someone could help with this, any and all suggestions welcome.
Since I was about 15, ive suffered from excessive tiredness, to the point where I will drop a sleep, causing me to almost lose my job and set fire to my house a number of times.
With this ADD i have terrible symptoms, very much like i start the day like a small car with a tiny cup of petrol and every task that takes even a small amount of concretion eats into this, I work in an office on Mondays and i can feel each task making me less and less awake and more and more ready to drop. By 1pm im in a useless. I find even stringing a sentence difficult.
Carbs speed up the onset of the wave of sleep and the lack of focus , if i had a load of sugar or even a few sandwiches i will drop a sleep, within an hour i will sleep for the next 8-12.
I am now 29, and ive seen a private doctor about ADD, he prescribed me ritalin, no effect. Nothing, even at very high doses, if anything it, at high doses puts me to sleep. Modafinil was effective at keeping me awake for a while but now does nothing.
I have given up high carbs, gluten, etc.
Keto has helped me stay awake during the day, but my focus, concentration and sleepiness are terrible.
Recent test results have shown high prolactin, something ive never been tested for, however all my other hormones are normal. This has been retested over a month, same result each time. I show no symptoms of high prolactin.
My ADD doctor has said he has no idea why the medication isnt working nor why i would have high prolactin without taking something to block dopamine like an anti psychotic.
