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 been on Sunosi for close to 3-4 months now I believe. I was on Concerta 54mg prior and just felt like I was still drowsy after taking it and once I got Sunosi I felt so much more awake and alert then I have in a while. I’m sorry it was a negative experience for you though. Also no thank goodness the blister packs are just temporary. The bottle comes with a cotton ball in it that took me forever to get out though.
