I suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome. doctor says no meds to help. insurance won't approve provigil. suggestions on other meds?

Integrative Medicine: You may benefit from working with an integrative or holistic medicine physician, who may be more familiar with existing treatments for chronic fatigue than your physician seems to be. Not all treatments are "drugs, " as nutrition and other lifestyle changes can be very helpful also. You can find such experienced physicians by searching: http://www.Abihm.Org/.

Stimulants can help: Stimulant medicines such as phentermine, Ritalin (methylphenidate) or Adderall can sometimes be helpful. Over-the-counter stimulants like guarana or ginseng can also help. However, there are serious risks associated with stimulants so you should discuss with a physician before considering.
