SammieGlow, I am 52 y.o. and am also on Adderall, 60 mg/day (30 mg immediate release tab). My ADD was diagnosed in childhood. I had to smile at your narcolepsy comment because it does not matter how much I sleep, I am ALWAYS sleepy. I have for some time wondered if the “ADD” is in fact just a manifestation of poor sleep as I frequently feel like I am in a severe brain fog (imagine chopping 30 points off your IQ and having your memory working at the same level as a goldfish). Anyway … Adderall does not give me the same “wake up” kick as dexedrine did but the Adderall does seem to help more with the executive function aspect of the ADD. Just for me to feel like I am on a level playing field, I need to get 8 – 10 hours sleep AND the stimulants. Hope this helps.
