I was diagnosed with ADD, never abused the medication or used meth but I would sometimes actually fall asleep while on low doses of dexedrine or adderall. Is this common if you have ADD? I have never seen or experienced shadow people even when I went awhile without sleep or was tripping on acid or mushrooms.
I am on the same boat, and fully agree. I also agree with the poster @MethAbuser in general terms as well ref post #10.
There is a relationship with me, about yawning to falling asleep, on my ADD meds over the long run now approaching my 23rd
year non stop. Well, I tried, to quit cold turkey, twice, once in paradise in Maui hawaii, when I was married, and, my (then) spouse
got so upset I was so unmotivated and stayed in bed, or, just was sitting in my chaise lounge, un-motivated to tour the island, she
was a RN and threatened to cancel our planned 15 day vacation and return to the Mainland USA, if I did not return to my combo
of Dexedrine Spansule 15 mg for daytime in AM and my Adderall 10 mg I/R or Dexedrine 5 MG I/R all brand name USA meds, as
my behavior was so amotivational. I had my meds with me, but this was on year 5, and, I was just testing my bodies
reaction, Glad I brought my meds with me or, my spouse was a Nurse Rachett, type character from the 1975 Academy award movie
"One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest" with American Actors Louise Fletcher, the control freak RN, and Jack Nickelson, the rebel, in the
psych ward, directed by world famous actor Michael Douglas, filmed on location, in a real honest to goodness Mental Health Facility
in Oregon USA in 1975 !!!
The only other time I quit for 15 days in a row on purpose, a taper down to zero use, I developed a combination of a episodic
depression, due to my then spouse who had filed for a nasty Divorce from hell, and, I fell into a episodic depression I resigned my
job, and, quit taking my ADD meds for two weeks and just never left the house, amotivational syndrome, but, by now in the year
2006, my soon to be ex wife, still a RN told me I better return to my ADD meds and find gainful employment, which, I did after 15
days foo USA C-II stimulants, and, I got hired on a new job within 48 hours, as I returned to my regular dosing of stimulants.
My ex told me stopping my meds would not cause her to back off from divorcing me. so I gave in.
Getting sleeping on ADd stimulants, only during a time frame my MD was experimenting with me for evening doses of either
150 to 200 mg of Trazodone or of 100 to 200 mg of Seroquel the new age antipsychotic, he prescribed those meds to knock me
out for a 10PM sleep schedule but when I got up at 6AM to 7AM I was always very hung over for about 2 hours punch drunk,
until the stimulants kicked in. I hated both of those meds intended to make me drowsy. In the here and now, when my daytime
dose of Dex Er wears off about 8 hours later in the day, like around 4PM I start yawning on some days, if I have social activities, or
church activities in the evening, I am authorized to take like a 5 mg instant release Dextroamphetamine pill but no later than 5PM.
On occasion a larger dose of some benzodiazepines at bedtime, will also cause me to be drowsy in the AM especially if I redose
benzo's in the middle of the night like around 2AM from waking up in my sleep cycle.
