Hello to all- I am new to the forum. I am seeking info regarding the
following:
1. I have been taking ritalin for 4-5 years. I am not concerned about addiction. I am aware that I am becoming tolerant to it. The reason I am not concerned about addiction is because if I take too much it adds to the fatigue. In addition, it and the Paxil I take together seem to diminish the effect of the ritalin. Can't be sure how ritalin is affecting the Paxil. I realize, too, that anti-depressants contribute to fatigue. Is there any medication(s) that addresses depression and the organic brain tumor related fatigue successfully? I realize this may sound like a trivial concern in light of graver issues, but I have to heal from where I am. The fatigue is debilitating.2. After a tumor has received stereotactic radiosurgery (proton beam), is there anything bsides traditional surgery to remove the "fried" tumor?
Thank you for any responses.
Linda
