Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant primarily used to treat ADHD. In Long COVID, it is sometimes used off-label to combat severe fatigue and brain fog by enhancing catecholamine signaling.
Impact: 30min after taking, for about 18? hours Symptoms: Everything cleared up. I feel more differenced awake/tired. Executiv functions work so much better, esp. speaking what I think. But it also increases my presence for extern stimuli, I get overwhelmed more easily. Only helpful on okayish days! No PEM afterwards.
Methylphenidate has been a game changer for me. Prior to starting this, I was bedridden 20+ hours a day, and essentially housebound.
I take methylphenidate extended-release osmotic 72mg tablets (Relexxii), one by mouth every morning
