I don't believe it typically builds up in your system-on the contrary, I think that stimulants are eliminated relatively quickly...
However, you mentioned in your first post that you take it 8 times a day - if you're taking the regular dex, (as opposed to extended release) my experience has been that the theraputic effects wear off in about 4 hours... perhaps taking it so many times is approximating taking larger doses at less frequent intervals?
[that is, perhaps it IS building up a little in your system, since it would seem that you must be taking more before you body completely metabolizes the previous dose(s)? ...in effect increasing the amount in your system throught the day, likely even peaking toward bed time - or at least shortly (a couple hours?) after your last dose?]
Perhaps an extended release forumlation may help, since they're supposed to ease the "crash" that many experience when stimulants wear off?
... or perhaps changing your dosing schedule? Perhaps larger doses less frequently?
Lastly, I'd say perhaps a benzo, or other "sleep type" med? ...though it seems likely that a doctor would lean toward trying to adjust your dosing schedule, rather than prescribing "downers" to counter the effect of the "uppers".
... as I said, just a few thoughts - don't know if they'll help - hope so.
