A member asked:

Why does adderall xr 10mg makes me sleepy??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a normal: side effect: adderall is a combination of amphetamine salts which are stimulants: either your doses are too low or you have other medical conditions causing your fatigue.

Dr A Freisleben-Cook and another doctor agreed
