I agree with indigo. You’re taking zanaflex (Skelaxin is a different muscle relaxant) at night to sleep – that could easily be leaving you fatigued the next day! And your doctor is now giving you Ritalin to counter act the possible side effects of a different medication that you’re on? That just doesn’t make much sense to me. And the same doctor prescribed both of these meds to you?

Also, if you’re taking 8 mg a day for pain, you could try bumping that down to 6 mg and see if that helps your fatigue also. It could be a side effect of suboxone and dropping your dose might help too. I just think going on an ADD/ADHD med (amphetamine) when you don’t even have that diagnosis is foolish at best, especially when it’s an addictive medication given to someone with a history of addiction. Please be careful.
