Firstly, do not take amphetamine with the cold medications you have indicated; the load of norepinephrine caused by most types of the these sinus/cold medications is not what you want while taking amphetamine, because amphetamine, itself, has a strong activity on norepinephrine's release, especially with Adderall because it is not simply dextroamphetamine, but rather a quarter levoamphetamine and three-quarters dextroamphetamine. Now, even dextroamphetamine (AKA d-amphetamine) still exerts powerful effects to cause the release of norepinephrine, however levoamphetamine (AKA l-amphetamine) is a very potent releasing agent of norepinephrine, in particular. Could this effect your experience? Yes, but to what extent I do not know; however, the combination is not safe, really. All the norepinephrine puts a lot of strain on the nervous system, particularly the peripheral nervous system, and within that, causes stress by causing constant activation of the subdivision of the nervous system called the sympathetic nervous system; however, all of the nervous system is affected, and the central nervous system is not spared. In essence, it is just too much for what I would say is generally safe for someone with no amphetamine experience, and it could be quite dangerous.
Now, I don't think your reaction can really indicate what psychiatric diagnoses might be applicable to you and your condition. It is a very, very common falsehood that amphetamines somehow operate in the opposite manner for those with ADD. Amphetamines do the same thing for anyone, regardless of their illnesses, however it is true they can help, or worsen, certain symptoms of certain psychiatric illnesses. For example, if you do suffer from Bipolar Disorder, whatever the type, there is a good chance you could be thrown into mania, but the actual mechanism of action of the amphetamine does not change - someone who experiences manic episodes might simply be sensitive enough for a bit of amphetamine to send them spiraling into a manic episode.
Your experience, I will say, is not the typical experience for a first time amphetamine user, however I have read more than one accounts of others experiencing atypical reactions to amphetamine, so I am not in shock by what I am reading in your post. Amphetamines, with no tolerance, should create a certain set of symptoms (or effects, if you prefer that word) that are fairly expected and 'normal'. Usually, you would have experienced a nice boost from the 5 mg IR you initially took. At that dose, I would expect a marked elevation in mood and a shift toward positivity in your mindset, but nothing out of this world, though you would feel that quasi-natural/quasi-artificial feeling of general mental wellness and capability. I would expect an increase in activity, even if seemingly unremarkable activity, as well as an increase in desire to perform and perform well. I would expect a boost in confidence, as well as a hyperawareness of your surroundings with particular clarity. I would expect a desire to do things like organize your things, clean up, rearrange things, write down lots of thoughts/ideas/plans, socialize (and socialize with much less anxiety, because of the feeling of an almost iron-clad confidence and certainty of the self), smoke more cigarettes if you smoke cigarettes, and simply be productive in any way that presents itself as most desirable. I would expect a nice increase in the ability to be productive, with sharpness, decisiveness, and quickness of the mind. HOWEVER, you did not experience this, so I'll ask a few questions that might make sense of what you experienced in the next paragraph.
I am making an assumption, here, that you do take an anti-depressant; why? - almost every psychiatric patient is put on a regimen with some anti-depressant, and this could make your experience more dull due to the mechanism of action of anti-depressants. But even still, what would make your experience even flatter, I would guess, would be benzodiazepines, especially if you are not fully tolerant to them, you took more for the sedating effect, and/or you dosed a benzodiazepine while the amphetamine was active or supposed to be active. One thing, above either of the two types of drugs I describe above, that could nearly fully take away the good and normal effect of amphetamine would be an anti-psychotic (AKA a neuroleptic), because anti-psychotics are designed to decrease activity of the neurotransmitters which amphetamine activates, and some anti-psychotics do a particularly good job as some can, at relatively low doses, easily cause a blockade of dopamine's activity, and it is the release of dopamine, primarily, to which we can attribute most of the pleasant effects (and most of the whole of the effects) of amphetamine. Another type of drug which could add to make amphetamine duller would be the 'mood stabilizers'.
So, I am curious to know if you are on any other drugs, prescribed or otherwise, to better inform you of why your experience is not quite how you would expect it. But, it is true, to a fairly small extent, that natural tolerance to amphetamine varies from person to person; I don't think this is untrue, but the variation I would guess is quite minimal. Set and setting are things which are usually pertinent to the psychedelic experience, however I do believe they are rather influential on the nature of the experience of amphetamine, as well. So, tell me more about why you want to take amphetamine, the setting in which you choose to do it, and the mindset you have going into it. I am curious about your case and anxious to help the best I can.
Also, 5 mg IR should do you good, as you have no prior experience with amphetamines, although up to 10 mg IR is not unreasonable. I would still advise to wait, see if this site can help, than proceed with the amphetamine, after you know a bit more about how and why you respond as you do. I would strongly advise a break on account of your collective 30 mg dose, as well, so you have time to reset your mind and personal expectations a bit. I am fairly confident whatever it is, Bluelight can help. So, until you share more information, particularly answers to my questions, I would just leave the bottle of Adderall alone - just for a little while.
