I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing I have: I was diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago, and I took ritalin at first for a few months. But now I've been taking Adderall for a good 8 months now.
Lately, (beginning this past month) instead of making me all perky and stuff (my ADHD is really mild, I think..but probably exacerbated by e use and ritalin/adderall use), adderall is making me tired! Or, my body is so tired but my mind is wired, so I can't really do anything. Adderall is making me less productive than I usually am, which is so weird since it used to be so great.
I'm taking about 30mg a day, and I'm getting like 7-8 hours of sleep each night so I don't think I'm sleep-deprived and just exhausted...I feel like throughout the day, I can feel the adderall wearing off and when I take another one, it's like I feel like one wearing off and another coming on at the same time, which makes me want to lay down and goto bed. Hmm..
I've heard of people losing the beneficial effects of adderall after a while, but 8 months seems so soon..what do you guys think?
 
well, being that ADDERAL is a stimulant, and i assume it is closely structurally to EPHEDRINE, and prolonged use of stimulants like EPHEDRINE deplete ones adrenal glands, and once they are depleted, it takes quite some time for them to replenish, and when they are depleted, it often produces feelings of LETHARGY and TIREDNESS...
-OR-
i have heard that drugs, such as VALIUM have a "rebound" effect to them if they are used for a lengthy period of time..some VALIUM long time users experience an energetic and anxious feeling after taking it, whereas they are supposed to feel RELAXED and MELLOW..this MIGHT be whats happening with you, and since the ADDERAL should be giving you a boost in energy, it may simply be tiring you out...
im not saying either of the above are whats happening to you, but i think its possible..
 
do you feel any EUPHORIA from the ADDERAL??some say this drug makes ya feel really good, and "high" even...i was thinking of giving it a try, since there are times i could use a stimulant with the added bonus of getting you buzz..
