To give you a piece of hope, I can say that I've had this problem before and am currently experiencing it a bit. However, it seems to wax and wane. I think it takes quite some time to feel normal after getting off of a med -- part of the problem being, I think, that your brain is waiting for the stimulus it once got from the AD.
Something that seems to work best for me is to 'pulse' my medication -- that is, be on for several days, then off for a few days. That way the positive effect remains without your brain becoming sensitized to the med. I'm sure that's a no-no in the medical community, however.
