Stimulants and Sleeping

[TDK2FE]

Whenever I try meth, coke, amphetamines, etc... I usually get somewhat exhausted and feel like going to sleep about a half hour after I do them. Actually, just today at about 12:30pm I railed 10 mgs of Dexadrine, and by 1:00pm I was laying down to take a nap because I felt so tired... and I actually slept for about an hour.
I was just wondering if anybody else experienced this, and if anybody can tell me exactly why I am feeling this way. Thanks!

i have a resonable answer, people that have add, or who are highly excited all the time the methamphetamines have a tendancy to reverse the effect, almost how dexodrin works.

Well, unless I am an undiagnosed case of ADD (which i have seen a physician about), this doesn't explain why they affect me this way.

yeah im also interested in why stimulants make 'some" actually tired after taking them..im not saying EPHGEDRINE is close to METH in terms of potency, but i have a few friends who say they can pop 4-5 STACKER3's and they almost fall asleep..i have read that it may have to do with the persons adrenaline levels, but i cant be positive..
there has to be some explanation for this, and NO my buddies are neither hyper-excited or ADD patients...
shit, i canb take 2 STACKER 2's and be climbing the walls, and be up ALL NIGHT long..

In medicine this is called a "paradoxical reaction." It's actually not that unusual for some people to have exactly the opposite of the normal effects of a drug. I don't know why here.
Incidentally people on ADHD get the same effects from amphetamines as everyone else. Small doses will calm ADHD kids and normal kids, though they effect is often far more noticeable in an ADHD kid. High doses will tweak them out, just like normal people.
