See a Doctor: Please see a doctor. Get into an exercise regimen and also go for long walks. I have seen that Yoga and Meditation can help stabilize your hormones and balance your body and mind. It may take some time, but it is worth a try. It is free from side effects and it is free in several places.

May be on wrong dose: If the adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) that you take is a tablet, then it is only designed to last 4-6 hours. So if your mornings, are super and alert but the afternoons are sleep city then you should visit with your doctor about either an xr capsule that lasts 10-12 hours or adding a second tablet about lunchtime. Nuvigil is still the rx of choice, so if your dr submits a PA with a dx of narcolepsy and the sleep study,
