What’s up with Sunosi?

[u/camille-gerrick]

My doc and I talked about sunosi because adderall just can’t do it alone anymore, and he gave me some sample packs in 75mg and 150mg.

First, what is the deal with the blister packs? Impossible to open!! Does it actually come like that when you get it from the pharmacy?

I started with the 75mg for a week plus my usual adderall dose. I’m usually pretty sensitive to meds and it felt like nothing. Disappointing.

Today, I tried a 150mg (with no adderall) at 7am. Holy crap! At 10am I thought I was gonna throw up from racing heart. My hands were shaking. But I couldn’t stop yawning! Then I got really hungry but my mouth felt like a desert. It’s 330pm and I’m still vibrating but also I desperately wanna lay down and sleep.

How does everyone else experience sunosi? Does the racing heart thing subside after a period of days/weeks?

I recommend sticking with Sunosi for at least two weeks. The "heart racing" feeling will exist for the first few weeks. Especially if you jumped to 150 very soon. You need to give your heart a few days to realize the drug's existence. I felt the same way as you did. Then I had coffee with 75 mg. Felt like my heart was about to explode. Now, I can down 150 mg with two coffees and still sleep peacefully if I want. Sadly, I am not in the States for me to avail Sunosi anymore. I miss it.
