For Fatigue "Wow, here I thought I was the only one having problems with amphetamine/dextroamphetamine generic. I've been telling my family, and I finally asked the pharmacist at CVS, and she said, truthfully, that I was not the only one with these issues. So then I started doing some research because this morning I took a 30 mg in Saint Louis, and I swear to you, the same thing happened to me yesterday. Today I'm falling asleep. I can never fall asleep while taking that. No joke, zero energy."

Amphetamine / dextroamphetamine for ADHD "I got diagnosed later than typical ADHD (age 16), but it was clear that I definitely had it. Therefore, I was thrown into the deep end with medications. I have tried everything under the sun. Pretty much hated everything. It turned me into a zombie and messed way too heavily with my stomach. I’m 28 now, and about two and a half years ago, my doctor told me about Mydayis. It was the best decision I ever made. I take 37.5 mg, and it works like a breeze. I stay focused, and it really keeps my mind straight. Working 3rd shift, the side effect of sleeplessness is actually a benefit. The only negative side effect is the upset stomach. It’s for about 1-2 hours after taking it. Other than that, it works perfectly."

Amphetamine / dextroamphetamine for ADHD "I started on Ritalin for ADHD, but I switched to Adderall because the Ritalin made me extremely irritable. Adderall 20 mg allows me to concentrate, tune out distractions, and manage time efficiently. Negative side effects: suppressed appetite (positive for me!), sometimes slightly irritable mood towards the end of the day, sleeplessness if I take it less than 12 hours before bedtime."

For ADHD "Just recently discovered I have inattentive type ADD at age 32. I first tried 10 mg Vyvanse, it worked very well for 8 hours. I really needed to bump up to 30 mg to hit the expected DoE (duration of effectiveness) of 12 hours. Unfortunately, Vyvanse raised my blood pressure to the 140s at times, so that was a no-go. Next, Concerta 18 mg made me drowsy like Benadryl. Now I am on this ampheta/dextro 10 mg tab. My first day I took 10 mg in the morning and 10 mg at lunch, I felt overly stimulated. My thinking did not improve, I had minor tics (I kept licking my lips and flexing my eyebrows/forehead, lol). Tomorrow I will try 5 mg and see how that goes. !"

Amphetamine / dextroamphetamine for ADHD "As of March 2022, Teva brand 30 mg Adderall is like a sugar pill. Their quality has gone downhill. I keep falling asleep. This must be a recent problem, since the recent reviews say how bad it is."

Amphetamine / dextroamphetamine for ADHD "I've had one dose. Let me be clear. I took one 25 mg pill 6 hours ago, and I'm so sleepy I can't see straight. I slept 7.5 hours last night, so I don't understand the drowsiness."

Amphetamine / dextroamphetamine for ADHD "Works well. Be sure not to take in the evening or night, just in the morning and noon though, because it will cause sleeplessness."
