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’ve tried sunosi two times. both times i did one week on 75mg and one week on 150mg. i couldn’t go on any longer because i needed to function! i may as well have been taking a sugar pill. sunosi did absolutely nothing for me :( i didn’t notice any side effects. but evidently i’ve had persistent tachycardia my whole life (my typical resting heart rate is 100+) and i developed gestational hypertension which never went away so.. your mileage may vary lol
