Every stimulant I have ever tried makes me tired, so tired that I feel like I am about to die. Cocaine,Speed,Amphetamine,Ephedrine,Adderall,Coffeine and so on. If I take a Redbull, go straight to sleep. Drink coffe, do straight to sleep. I have no symptoms of ADHD. In fact I am the opposite. That is why I have tried these things, to see if anything can make me more awake.
Why do all stimulants make me sleepy?

I agree with the other answer. I have ADD and stimulants make me sleepy. If I want a good nap I drink a cup of coffee. This is more common than not and may affect anyone with ADHD, ADD, and even Autism.

Hmm, I do have ADHD and that's exactly what stimulants do to me... could you possibly have ADD w/out the Hyperactivity? Not trying to push the diagnosis, I just don't know any other people, besides the ADD folk, that react this way to stimulants.

Hi, no help to you I'm afraid, but I have a similar problem, although I have not tried the 'hard' stuff I have been tempted! I have chronic fatigue and can not find a safe stimulant or anything that can give me energy. I also fall asleep not long after red bull and the like. PLEASE can anyone give me some energy tips?
P.S. Have just started Gabapentin 300mg and some days I have a boost and other days I can't get out of bed? can anyone explain/help?
