A member asked:
My doctor gave me 5mg dexamphetamine pills for my adhd and they are making me tired (stimulants seem to make me tired) what do you suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go back to the Dr.: Amphetamine salts given to adhd have the opposite effects compared to normal people who take it. Maybe start with an even lower dose until your body gets used to it. There are different kinds of drugs that can also be used if you can't take dexamphetamine.
