Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine): Review with your prescribing doctor the dose adjustment and possibility of adding nighttime medications such as Clonidine or rebecca or kapvay.

Sleep study?: If you are taking this for day-time somnulance then you may need a change in dose, a change to the release form of Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) or a different medication. However if you have not had a sleep study yet - that would be important.
