My adderal is making me tired...why? Iam I not really ADHD?
I was diagnosed ADHD about 4 years ago. I told my dr. we were trying to have kids so when he prescribed me adderal back then I refused because I was trying to conceive. Last week I went back and told him since I was now done with having children I would like to see if that was still an option. After being re-evaluated he disgnosed ADHD again but because nopw I struggle with higher than normal blood pressure he said he wants to start me off with a SUPER low dose for a month and then he will raise t if my BP is ok. 10 mg once a day. That's it. The first few days were ok...a little more focus but nothing like the "WOW" I was hoping for. Now I am on day 8 and I am simply......tired. I remembered to grab the hotdog buns WITHOUT my list the other day which is a new thing for me (LOL) but I am sleepy. Could I have been misdiagnosed TWICE? I wasn't expecting to want to take a nap in the middle of my day. I am usually on the GO GO GO GO and this is completely unpleasant for me. I have heard this happens to some but have never heard WHY? Anyone else?? THANKS IN ADVANCE!
No other meds...besides my ibuprofin. :) It's an odd feeling. Unmotivated maybe a better way of looking at it. I just don't want to do anything...where as before as unorganized and overwhelmed as I get, I still had the "drive" to want to do something...anything...EVERYTHING. That drive is gone. I just don't feel like myself. I feel lazy.... I don't like it...I will definitely be calling my dr. and finding out what he thinks. : THANKS! :)

Some medication have side effects and this might be one with Adderal, next time you see your doctor, tell him about you being tired all the time and ask if there's any other medication you could try because this medication doesn't seem to be the one for you :) good luck

I am not a doctor. But, adderall is a stimulant, so it's unlikely to make you tired. Are you sleeping ok at night? Taking any other medication?
