Good luck and I hope you feel better. That is good that you got medical advice.

One point I'd like to reiterate is that it seems that sometimes doctors and patients discontinue a med for undesirable effects without really titrating the dose and starting with something super low. Some people really just need a tiny amount to reap benefits.

With some drugs, I've taken a tenth the dose of an adult dose. With Focalin, I take just 1.25 mg (a tiny dose) and I feel it - it's just about right.

So this might be something to ask about at your next appointment, especially if you and your doctor think a stimulant might have a place in your regimen.
Thanks for this!
