I feel worse at night too. But I think it might be because I am coming off the Dex. It is starting to make me depressed when it wears off. I then end up taking an Ambien to go to sleep. How much Dexedrine do you take? I remember you mentioning that you have taken it. Do you still? Keep calling your friends, you do not need to be alone. Are you going to be seeing your Doctor soon? Call and schedule an appointment:)
