I have been diagnosed with ADHD, primarily inattentive, however I feel like this diagnosis is somewhat misguided, as I feel I am more of a chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia case.

Anyway I have been Rx'd dextroamphetamine but can't stand taking it because it things out my hair significantly. I'm assuming the same thing would happen on other stimulant type meds including methyphenidate, bupropion, etc.

If these are the only meds that could possibly treat my problems what are my options?

I'm can barely do day-to-day activities because of persistent fatigue and lethargy. I really want to try bupropion but I'm terrified it will also thin out my hair.

I don't think much of the medical fields diagnose these days..  I'd recommend taking basic OTC vitamins, minerals and nootropics first..  

 

Did you have your B-12 & D3 levels tested?  Increase Magnesium also.. I highly recommend additional Choline.. 750 mg 1-2 x day.. for at least a month.. They all worked wonders for me.. after a case of lead poison.  I tried numerous other nootropics too.  

 

How is your sleep?  Poor sleep or lack of it can impact your focus a lot.
