AnonymousInactiveMarch 19, 2010 at 2:59 pmPost count: 14413Ever since the Daylight savings change, I have been extremely tired and unmotivated. Seems like my meds, Dexedrine and Strattera, are not working or are working in reverse. More caffine isn’t helping either. Anyone else experiencing this?
REPORT ABUSEMarch 19, 2010 at 9:22 pm #92869It always takes me a couple of weeks to adjust to the time change. And that’s just one hour ahead or back. Just imagine the fun I have with jet lag!
REPORT ABUSEMarch 20, 2010 at 12:55 am #92870Crazy how our energy levels are so much more prone to extremes than non-ADDers. Doesn’t take much to throw us off. I’ve found it really hard to spark up my drive lately, and have resisted temptation to add onto my med dose. I know that the next time something feel-good happens, it will probably jump-start my energy again. Always seems to happen that way. Hope you get your groove back soon!

AnonymousInactiveApril 8, 2010 at 5:54 pmPost count: 14413I have replaced the light bulbs in my bathroom with bulbs that simulate sunlight. I does help. I know that this may seem a bit crazy (can I say that here), but read my reply to Strattera in the Medication section. After doing a lot of reading, I suspect that it may be that I am reacting differently to the generic Dex tablets that I had been prescribed. I am now taking the brand name dex spanules and dropped the Strattera and things seem to be going better……so far.
