Fatigue: Methylphenidate has been used for the treatment of fatigue in patients with cancer,4HIV infection,5and chronic fatigue syndrome.6In an open-label trial,7 methylphenidate was reported as useful for fatigue associated with sarcoidosis. Dexmethylphenidate hydrochloride (d-MPH) is the d-threo-methylphenidate hydrochloride isomer of methylphenidate. It is approximately twice as potent as the racemic formulation and appears to have a longer half-life; hence, it can be administered twice daily

Easy and better!: Provigil (modafinil) and Nuvigil (R-modafinal) will work better! They will solve your problem and are not schedule 2 drugs!
