> I got the pdoc to prescribe me a stimulant. She gave me Adderall. They gave me the generic version, 5 mgs. I am to take 1/2 tablet in the morning and 1/2 tablet at 2:00 pm. I started with a quarter tablet, pretty much figured I would be bouncing off the walls from it. It actually made me kind of sleep of all things. I feel calm, doesn't feel at all like I thought it would feel (like WAY too much caffeine). How do I know if it's working, is there any tell tale signs? So far so good!
Hi,
Adderall made me sort of sleepy groggy the first couple of hours and then I got a big energy boost about 4-8 hrs postdosing. I have tried dexedrine by itself and it made me drowsy, groggy. So, I think the l-amphetamine (amphetamine sulfate-benzedrine, etc.) is what actually made me vigilant and awake. When I tried methylphenidate it did the same. I seem to respond to noradrenergic meds more than dopaminergic meds for attentional symptoms.
