    My doc said that being tired from my meds was the biggest confirmation that my diagnosis was correct and that it would subside. Basically I had lived my life completely incapable of relaxing. Once the meds let that happen, my first priority was to FINALLY rest, not focus on tasks. She was right. I medicated, rested, found balance and productivity.

    My meds don’t make me relax, but really feel hyper the first hour and they used to make it better but sometimes I’m just in the fog and the days and I can’t tell if that’s like my monthly cycle. I’ve tried everything. I can’t tell if I have some sort of weird rapid cycling condition, if it’s like I’ve used my meds for a week and there’s nothing left in me. I don’t even know but some days I take them and think I’d feel normal and I just have nothing left in me. I hate.

    I’ve had been on adderall for a while for my adhd and it’s always felt more like a muscle relaxer and I could take naps on it no matter the MG I’ve taken Same way with caffeine/coffee/etc

    I'm prescribed Dexedrine and this is exactly how I respond to this med. I first was prescribed Adderall but found Dexedrine is a better fit. I feel like i take anxiety meds, I don't get energy, in fact I'm normally way more hyper when I wasn't getting treatment. I didn't get diagnosed until last year. Even tho everyone who knew me always joked how ADHD I naturally was. I had past doctor's trying every route in the book tossing antidepressants, etc and they all made me feel Soo awful. Finally I got a new care team of doctors and they brought up analyzing and testing me for ADHD and I for sure had it and they found that the depression and anxiety and stuff was side effects of untreated ADHD so I've been so happy that treatment is going well after so many things that didn't. It's just so crazy how you never see this side of ADHD medicine effects covered when my doctor told me that if I was getting calmed by the medicine then it means it's helping how it should. Not everyone gets energy from these meds but people who don't have ADHD definitely get energy from these medications and so it's interesting how almost every video you look up about ADHD medicine talks about the effects it gives you like energy, etc. It's almost like they're covering how it effects normal people who don't have ADHD. It would just be nice to see more info on this because I literally can take my medicine and fall asleep. It's crazy. For a while there I thought something was wrong with me, like you see everyone saying it helps narcolepsy and gives you energy but here I am just barely noticing that I'm taking anything except something that helps me relax and not have as much anxiety because it calms me down.

    depends on the symptoms of your adhd imo. for me, I got zoinked out during the time period where my meds would take effect. The tiredness can come from being super calm due to your brain not going at 100mph or the quietness in your mind makes your body realize that you haven't been getting enough sleep. Within a few weeks you should get used to it and not get tired anymore

I find LSD actually helps me quite a bit. oh! and chaga mushroom (not psychedelic) it's the black stuff on birch trees that look like burnt shit. it gives good stable energy but it's hard to make. rhodiola tea is good too. B vitamins!! prickly pear cactus, whatever in 5hour energy shots . monster used to have a noncarbonated orange energy drink with vitamins and ingredients that just worked like a charm. my coworker and I used to go buy them by the case but it got discontinued ffs.
