There is a non-amphetamine stimulant called Provigil that works for some. Doctors of various medical expertise are prescribing anti-viral medications with good results.
I hope that helped. Good luck.

YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A HELLISH TIME, AS AM I, BUT YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT AS I WILL. I AM A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL BATTLING PAIN AND UTTER EXHAUSTION.
I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHAT CONDITION CAME FIRST? CLONAPIN IS A GOOD MED FOR WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH. THE SOMA AND MORPHINE OFF COURSE HAS SEDATIVE EFFECTS. WERE YOU DIAGNOSED WITH CFS OR FIBRO? RLS IS DEVASTATING BUT SHOULD NOT CAUSE THE FATIGUE YOU DESCRIBE. AND WHAT FORM OF BI-POLAR ARE YOU? THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES. I WOULD GUESS YOU WERE BORN WITH BORN WITH ANXIETY...A HYPOTHESIS... HAVE YOU TRIED THE MEDICATION PROVIGAL...? PERHAPS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF YOUR PRESCRIBING PHYSICIANS TO TRY A LOW DOSE OF AN AMPHETEMINE...IF..ALL OTHER MEDS HAVE NOT HELPED YOUR DEBILITATING EXHAUSTION. I WILL PRAY FOR YOU.
SINCERELY,

I have been prescribed Adderall for CFS since 2000. Without it I couldn't get out of bed. It works for me. But it is an amphetemine so doctors aren't keen on prescribing them for CFS/FIBro As long as you have no history of addictions Adderall can help. It saved my life. There are also two stimulants not in the amphetemine class(of is Provigil) that are available. Good luck!
