y1gFwo Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) so i've been on generic adderall (dextroamphetamine) 5 mg, in the AM, for about two days now, and i'm finding that it does nothing but keep me tired. i take a couple one or two hour naps throughout the day. when i'm awake however, for the most part i seem slightly calmer than before. why would one become drowsy after taking a stimulant? shouldn't they wake you up, keep you focused, increase productiveness, etc..

Someone once told me "one of the sure signs of being ADHD is that stimulants put you to sleep." IDK how spot-on that is. I know I can take a four hour nap after taking 30mg of adderall. Usually I don't though. For the most part, they keep me focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
