Anyone had this?
I take dexamphetamine, rather than Elvanse. Fairly low dose which I've been on a couple of years, I've gradually increased it over time but v carefully because it gives me palpitations.
But lately it doesn't seem to be working very well or at all, I'm feeling kind of awful. I've been increasing the
dose hugely (still well within safe levels) and it's barely noticeable!
One big thing is that it keeps me awake at night, but for the last month maybe I've been noticing I'm really tired around 9pm! Fall asleep no trouble - this is unheard of.
Now I'm noticing that in the mornings I'm really really tired and that is persisting all day, I'm not getting that bright and alert feeling I used to. Again, no change if I take more.
What's going on here? 🤷🏻♀️
I did have a really bad cold/nasty virus a couple of weeks ago, was knocked out for a good week, could that be part of it?
Do I need to have a shudder break from the meds to see if they work again after?
I realise that these questions are mainly for my ADHD doctor/GP but I really wanted to hear any similar experiences.
