I've been taking 15mg of dexamfetamine 3 times a day for ADHD for three months and I hate it. I get a few good days but most of the time it's like I'm drunk, sleep deprived and have a flu all at once. I know these aren't normal side effects so I don't know what's going on, I just know I tried everything and nothing works. Well, 20mg stops the flu stuff but I sometimes feel like I took too much instead. Doesn't matter if I'm feeling good or bad, 3 hours after I take any dose it's like a train hits me and I suddenly can't talk or stand up or even hold my head up.
I can't see my psychiatrist until the end of the month but I can't wait that long. I want to just stop because every dose I tried from 5mg twice a day up to now has been like this but am I just going to make myself feel even more crappy if I don't taper down and let my brain adjust?
