I am paying for this TCL hotspot

I have the sim installed correctly

I plug it in to my laptop USB port

Nothing popped up.

The first 2 lights are green so it appears it should be working.

I don’t see a wifi network to click on if that’s how this is supposed to work

All webpages say not connected to the internet.

I put in

http://192.168.0.1

and still nothing on Edge or Chrome

The instructions act like it should just all magically work.

My laptop is a new Asus Vivobook and connects to my home network and Starbucks wifi just fine.

I don’t see any devices recognized in settings.

I tried removing and putting the sim card back in.

I have “autoplay” turned on. I don’t have some super security blocking this that I know of, nothing pops up at all on my laptop when this is plugged in.

This thing is pretty frustrating, not “plug and play” for me.

Any ideas?

Anyone else have both?

I was on Adderall 10 mg, 3 times a day

Unfortunately I fell asleep at a stoplight around 3 pm a couple of weeks ago, fully medicated. Sleep attack came on fast.

My foot came off the break and I rolled into the very nice Mercedes in front of me. $3k+ to replace their bumper because of the scratch.

My doctor suggested I try Modafinil instead of Adderall.

100 mg Modafinil felt like taking Benadryl for 2 days.

This could also be the effect of stopping Adderall.

My doctor seems to think since they are both central nervous system stimulants they would switch out easily.

200 mg feels like I still need to take Adderall, like I forgot my afternoon dose sort of feeling.

I will ask to go up to 300 mg next week at my appointment.

I haven’t been able to do much work or drive so I am thinking about taking some Adderall anyway so I can get some work done.

Does anyone here take both?

Does anyone manage ADHD and narcolepsy on just Modafinil and caffeine?

I had developed a tolerance for Adderall many years ago. I was taking 60 mg / day and feeling no effect.

I went off of it for a while and then restarted when I had become sensitized to it again.

While off of it I tried Strattera and Intuniv. Vitamins, “energy” mushrooms, tea, all the willpower in the world to make myself exercise.

None of that is curing narcolepsy or ADHD.

I come from a med-shaming family.

I have totaled 2 cars (single vehicle accidents) from falling asleep. I’m not going to eff around.

Does anyone else manage cycling Adderall every few years with something else?

My son who also had ADHD had a psychotic episode, visual and auditory hallucinations on Vyvanse; So I haven’t tried that and would prefer not to.

But Adderall works for me despite the constant dry mouth and eyes; Being able to function like other humans do is worth those Adderall side effects for me. Unfortunately it seems I am getting a tolerance to Adderall again though.
