I really don't know how they interpreted this. My case was extremely treatment-resistant even then. If anything, amphetamine puts me to sleep. Caffeine packs a more powerful punch for me.

However, for me, amphetamine did nothing to improve my impairments in mental energy, cognition and memory. Perhaps my case is unusual, but it is not unique. I have seen other people remain able to sleep on 20 mg of Dexedrine taken late in the day.
