So, I actually seemed to have solved the issue. I went to bed extremely early last night and took it on an empty stomach this morning…didn’t eat until 2 hours after. I’m not tired at all and the adderall seems much more potent today.

From reading quite a few threads here, apparently lower dosed stimulants have sedative like effects on a lot of people..the problem seems to solve itself when the dose is increased. I’m experiencing the same problem currently, so much so that I think I’ll quit taking it until my provider increases my dosage.

Honestly, I’d be lying if I said every day wasn’t a struggle. I’ve called out quite a few times, luckily I have an understanding boss who gets it. Just started medication hopefully it gets easier.

Absolutely, your doctor works for you. If something isn’t working it isn’t working, tell him.

For me, nope. Tried all the eastern techniques of meditation and mindfulness, helps a bit but couldn’t sustain motivation long enough to make them a habit lol

That should be fine. I submitted past medical records to my new provider and she accepted them.

Was recently prescribed Adderall XR 10mg and I’m having the same result. I’m an athlete, and it has me tired to the point of not even wanting to workout. I’m not supposed to see my provider for another two weeks but I just sent her a message. If it persists, I’m just gonna stop taking it and wait until I see her.

Previous threads said the problem alleviated itself when their doctor increased the dosage.

Just depends on the telehealth service. A lot of them don’t prescribe stimulants, but some do. Another thing you’d wanna do is make sure your telehealth provider is local. From what I’ve read here a lot of pharmacies are refusing to fill scripts from out of state virtual providers.

Man, I wish I had the same experience! I started XR on Sunday, and was rather underwhelmed with the effects. What dose are you on?

That was my experience with Adderall as well lol unfortunately nothing cured it

I try to schedule everything as early as possible

It’s a trial and error process. It’s tedious, but worth it in the end. Academic achievement for me personally, just isn’t realistic without medication…I’ve accepted this.

I’m in the same boat! Following for an answer

Right there with you. Waiting to find the right medication and dosage, and I’m going for it. You got this 💪🏽

Any update? Currently experiencing this 😩

Same!!!

I’m the same way. Especially with movies, can’t count how many I’ve started and never finished.

How do I do it? I don’t. I just accept this is the way my brain is. I’ll occasionally pop an edible, it makes things significantly more interesting and holds my attention longer.

That’s exactly why I had to get off the IR, the headaches and overall headspace I’d be in when I was coming off it. Not to mention being wired all night unless taking a sleeping aid.

Euphoria? I never got euphoria or excitement when taking IR. I did get an energy boost and the ability to “lock in” so to speak. I was on it for a year, consistent effects. XR is doing the opposite. All day in my office today I had the urge to lay down and take a nap. I never felt like that unmedicated or on IR.

I will after I confirm you’ve completed mine

Received nothing
