I have been trying dexedrine for a few weeks and now adderal. I am stil trying to figure out if it helps me. For the first couple of weeks it seemed to--I was more talkative, more energetic, and more motivated. Then one day I felt tired so I took a little more than usual. I still felt tired so I took a little more. And again. Then I realized that I was becoming sort of catatonic and feeling VERY strange. I stopped the drug the next day but still had NO ENERGY whatsoever. FOr the next week I was extremely depressed; I felt as if I'd been hit by a truck. Now I find that I can only tolerate a tiny tiny amount of either Dexedrine or Adderal. If I take more than that I get paranoid, stop talking, and feel like I'm going crazy. I have never had any reaction like this to meds. I wish I could get back the feeling I had initially. I was also taking Neurontin at the time, but now I find that makes me feel kinda weird, too. Does anybody know what might have caused this crash?
