Thanks for your reply. I have found many of your posts to be quite helpful. JAGGED is a great way to describe Ritalin. For 25 years I had severe menstural migraines- no medicines helped and I waited for Imitrex to be approved. I tried Prozac and all the other ADs for Migraine Treatment; never had depression. I finally conceded to Lupron shots. They are GnHr agonists. Originally developed to treat protrates cancer. In my case, they were used to stop my period and produce menopausal levels of estrogen and progesterone. Lupron acts on the pituitary. The monthly shots gave me my life back. I took them for 6 mos; migraines back so dr okayed 2 yr therapy and I have never been the same. No migraines but no energy; EXTREME fatigue. They always diagnosed me with depression becuz of the fatigue but when I went back on the shots last year I was FINE. Then I slowly spiraled into a fatigue that has kept me in bed for over 3 mos. Some women report getting fibromyalgia and joint pain after lupron; even Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. So, I am "lucky" in that I don't have pain just fatigue. I started thyroid med. Armour but haven't noticed any results yet. (I bet you're sorry you asked about Lupron)-Trying to find what lupron does to thyroid -Dr is wonderful but calls me a "Mystery"
