Interesting… when I told the sleep doc I felt like after 2-3 weeks the effects of the adderall were lessening, or “wearing off sooner” and it was having less impact,. she suggested not taking it on weekends, then realized if I did that, I’d literally sleep my weekends away like I used to do.
I find after 3 weeks, mid-afternoon I’m YAWNING and really wanting a nap. The first two weeks I was good clear into late evening.
I find that I am not feeling the “positive impact” like I did the first couple of weeks. It’s almost as if I’ve cut the dosage, but I’m not.
I had a sleep issue anyway, that gray area between normal and narcolepsy. She had a name for it in the report, something about abnormal wanting to sleep during the day, drowsiness.
The extending my sleep, getting to bed earlier, and not sleeping as late on weekends has all by itself helpd a bunch, but the adderall was really helping a lot, at least until the last few days.
