Anyone out there take stimulants for ADD?
After Adderall made me irritable, my doc switched me to Focalin and I really, really like it. It works great without making me high.
I noticed that after the stimulant wears off I feel tired (like I need a nap) and easily emotional, kinda weepy, but not in a bad way. I don't feel depressed, just more apt to shed a tear over good things.
Is this just the wear off of the stimulant?
I take the immediate release because I can't take long acting meds. I am wondering if I take one dose in the morning and a second dose around lunch maybe I can put off these side effects.
