RE feeling exhausted--are you getting enough sleep? I say this because it is a constant struggle for me to get enough sleep and sometimes I think my stimulant med is helping me most by keeping me awake. That isn't its purpose, though, it's supposed to help me be more focused, less distracted, etc. So I think I could help myself out a lot by somehow improving sleep. I don't think an ADHD prescription is supposed to be helping a person be less tired.

Doc prescribed 36mg, but now changing to 70mg Vyvanse. Yes, my sleep may be an issue. I run a business from home and sometimes find myself up late, but not often. I just felt unually tired around mid day. My doc said he thought that my dose needed to be adjusted according to my weight, and of course, try a new medication. Since I'm bodybuilding my weight usaully stays around 230lbs, and I stay very active. I think maybe I was metabolizing it quickly. Plus its been hot. 100 degrees plus out here. That can make one tired. Thanks for the reply Sunrise.
