i usually sleep a lot like 14-16 hours a
day my parents cant stand it so they sent
me to a psychiatrsit...
he did a few interviews 2 weeks ago then a
week ago (saw me 3 times) and told me it
wasnt ADHD but more like a dissociative
disorder(Sp?) but gave me dexedrine since
its supposed to help. I took some last
night and just woke up like 2 hours ago...
so I slept almost 24 hours, thats unusual
even for me. its supposed to do the
opposite!
what gives? does anyone know if my dose is
too high or low? its 10mg.
I took it at night since i got the
prescription at like 6 and i was eager to
try it asap but it just made me super
tired.
thanks

Its funny you should say that because I
remember trying ritalin and getting almost
the same thing... it didnt make me tired
but it made me... not awake? Just
didn't work.
i wonder if I take ambien it will make me
stimulated lol...
I saw my doctor and now we are trying
adderall, I didnt fall asleep on it yet
until I needed to but its still for 12
hours but i dont like being so focused,
even my muscles dont move when i sit
still, and i stand up with cramps in my
legs.
