I'm just getting over stomach flu. I was really sick for about 5 days and during that time I didn't take my adderall (figured I didn't need it, I needed rest and it would stimulate me). I started eating normally again on Monday so I started taking my adderall again and I feel like it';s not working. I feel really restless and unfocused and extremely tired. I slept 12 hours last night and still needed a nap today. It's not an entirely unpleasant tired, just really mellow. I am also voraciously hungry (since I started eating again) like I can't get enough food. Do you think it's just my body recovering from the flu or did not taking my adderall for those 5 days affect me? I should also mention I've been under a lot of stress lately- my mother was just diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer and has been in and out of the hospital since Thanksgiving. I think secretly I fear that this exhaustion and hunger is depression rearing its ugly head.
