Advice Please: Why do stimulants/medication I'm prescribed not help me wake up / remain awake? "Armodafinil, Ritalin, and Adderall."

I think I am taking it wrong. Or I am doing something wrong. Each time I am prescribed something I'm assured it will not only help me remain awake but also help me get out of bed in the morning. They only make me feel sick or nauseous. Even if I take the tiniest amounts.

I've taken them with food. Without food.

I put off eating. Eating makes me feel even more exhausted.

I can sleep 72 hours, get up, eat, then go right back to bed and sleep the rest of the night. I don't feel rested or caught up on sleep.

Armodafinil helps after a few hours, for a few hours. But nothing has helped in the morning. I feel like a rock is sitting on top of my body.

Armodafinil,250 mg=helps a few hours. cannot increase due to light sensitivities/migraines

Ritalin, 10mg+ IR & 20mg ER=nausea or nothing

Adderall, 10mg+=nothing

*My first sleep study i was diagnosed with IH.

I was taking REM-suppressing medications at the time, so they were not able to test for Narcolepsy. My sleep specialist said, "...The treatments for IH and Narcolepsy are the same, so it doesn't matter, go ahead and take the sleep study....."

It did matter to the pharmaceutical company's when he later tried to prescribe certain medications. I have been using, "Good RX and not going through my insurance to bypass PA's.

I am now scheduled for another overnight & following MSLT.

I would love ANY other suggestions on how to take this medication. Please give me any suggestions on anything else as I would loooove some helpful advice.

Sleeping has taking over so much of my life. I waste so much time sleeping.

I am going to become a grandmother in a few months so i want to be depended on to assist. Not in bed asleep lol.
