Dexadrine and tiredness | ADHD Information

If you burn more energy they you produce, fatigue is the result. For example, pre meds your body produced 10 units of energy  (of our imaginary factor) by the food you eat, how much rest you got, how much enjoyment you have in life, etc.   You used 8 of those units each day. Then suddenly you start burning 12 units a day, eventually it catches up. Also, you burn more vitamins and minerals on meds then off. So you should watch your essential nutritional needs. Hi,
I've been taking dexadrine (10mg extended release) for ADD (no hyperactivity here) for about 6 weeks.  It seemed to help quite dramatically with my focus, but also seemed to make me feel more resilent energy wise (less struggle in the morning, less drag in the afternoon).  The last three weeks though I feel like I've swung the other direction and feel exhausted all the time, it seems like more than my pre-med tiredness.

This could all be the result of other things, the holdiays throw all healthy routines out the window (sleep, eating, exercise).  Just wondering if this is something others have experienced.

Thanks!
Wen
No matter we all browse by "show active topics." So we see them all.

thanks shinsetu_hito,

that might be exactly what is happening. 

I just realized that I posted this to the wrong message board, thought this was medications in general should have gone in the adult add forum I think.  my apologies.
