I know exactly what you're talking about. I just resumed Adderall consumption today after a 4 day miserable vacation (if you could call being lethartic and irritable a vacation)from it due to that same feeling.
I thought that feeling may be a diaphragmic tic. The need to get a deep breath, and being unable to get one is so annoying. It's like needing to yawn to get a full breath of air. And what's worse is to keep trying to yawn and still not being able to fill your lungs and then your jaw hurts from opening it 500 times.
anyway, I just took a 4 day break from the Adderall (haven't taken a break in 7 months or so) and it went away the day I stopped. I started back today at 20 mgs. and feel fine. I don't know if it's the dopamine building up or something, but it's happened to me before and used to happen more when I was on Effexor and Adderall. I now take Adderall, Lexapro and Klonopin at night. This combination has been great until last week when the breathing thing got out of control. I'm hoping it doesn't resurface again. Maybe you could try a break from it and see?
