A member asked:
I was recently prescribed adderall for add. is it normal for it to relax me and make me sleepy instead of super energetic. i am still waiting on a formal diagnosis?

That's the idea. The theory behind using stimulants in ADHD is it selectively stimulates a control mechanism in the brain that dampens excess excitability that causes ADHD. If you are lucky this happens & it will help. If it made you hyper/energetic it would not be a good med for you.
