Does ANYTHING help fatigue & focus??

I started law school this semester and prior to any medications I was basically bed bound. Started propranolol 20 mg 3x per day and that helped me start to be functional to where I’m not having the dizziness/faintness/nausea etc. I take guanfacine at night for ADHD, just started gabapentin to get me to sleep. For ADHD/wakefullness, I’ve tried adderall, vyvanse, but those two do not make me feel good physically so it’s hard to focus cause I feel too wired. Concerta does nothing. And I’m currently trialing Modafinil which also is doing nothing. I’ve also heard that beta blockers can cause fatigue and while I’ve been functional, prior to law school I guess I wasn’t super aware of my fatigue levels anyways since POTS makes me fatigued anyways. I literally cannot focus in class because I feel like I can nod off at any point. And reading feels impossible. DOES ANYTHING HELP????
