Liz - It sounds like you have a good doctor. Stimulants, particularly Dexedrine and Adderal, can unmask and make Tourette's Syndrome worse.Perhaps your lack of energy is only a temporary effect from discontinuing the Adderal. I am curious to see if your doctor will want to add back a stimulant. Were you ever diagnosed with ADD or ADHD?
Good luck.
DanF - Good job.
