This is common in ADD. Try upping the dose w/doc's OK. Some ADD'ers still get sleepy no matter how high the dose. Some take this side effect as a sign you are on the right track, just need to find the right dose or stim. If adderal does not work at higher dose you could try Dexadrine or another stim.
