Hi, used to be on dex in early high school for ADHD which really truly helped me, but for what ever stupid adolescent reason I decided it wasnt for me anymore after the 11th grade. Now 23, In college, regretting that decision, I went back to see the doc.

Started a full course Load this Fall (4 courses plus a lab) and have been lagging behind the entire term (as all my college terms on and off thus far) . I decided it was time to go see the doc again (being 23 I would like to finish my BA in the next 2 years considering Ive already spent 3!)

He put me on 100mg of prestiq, tried that for a couple weeks then he added 15mg Dexedrine and BAM studying like a champ, feeling like I can pull my grades up and possibly save my GPA before exams.

Then in the last 2 days I woke up feeling kinda tired and the dexedrine didnt give me that amazing focus that it did the first 2 days. I had 3 cups of coffee over the course of the day and just cant wake up, its the 3rd day now that this has happened since I started taking dex 5 days ago. WTF,

I feel like a zombie! WHAT GIVES!!!! I thought I had just found the holy grail and now I feel like crap back to my normal "Adhd, unproductive, frontal lobe throbbing when trying to concentrate." I hadn't expierenced that Kind of productivity with school work in years!

***Sidenote I took ZMA's before bed the last couple nights and woke up once or twice but otherwise got about 8 hours each night

HELP: I need to find the solution!!!

ps exercise frequently and diet is clean
 
Congratulations, you're building a tolerance.

It's only been 5 days, how is that even possbile??? Is it because I'm overly tired that I cant feel the dexedrine and coffee? Or is it the dex thats making me tired?

ZMA's could have disrupted my sleep i believe?
 
Remember that dex is not a very tweaky stimulant. A lot of people may not even notice it kicking in when it takes effect because of how smooth it is. It makes some people who take it tired if they are use to taking things like adderall.. If your looking for more of an uppity stimulant, try adderall or ritalin.
 
"Only" 5 days of continuous usage is more than enough to start feeling a tolerance from amphetamines. They are notorious for building tolerance and hence causing escalating dosage and psychological addiction.
 
Tolerance builds, but not to that degree!
Prestiq could be working finally and interfering with it.

Hmmm, I'm not going to take my Prestiq tomorrow and see If I get Back "in the zone" with dexedrine, cause that alone might get my ass through college
