Same for me. Chronically tired all the time since I can remember. Tried everything. Exercise, diet, probiotics, meditation, sleep training. Got diagnosed for depression ten years ago. No medication helped. Finally got prescribed “off label” treatment for narcolepsy and ADHD called Modafinil.

Completely changed my life!

Turns out there is some connection to narcolepsy and ADHD (Huberman talks about this on his podcast), and it makes sense.

Anecdotally, other people I know who’ve been diagnosed with CFS or ME tend to exhibit similar ADHD-like patterns. Maybe there’s something to that. Certainly worth exploring further.
