I have a problem with always being tired. I recently started getting treated for hypothyroidism and it's helping some. I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago but didn't start taking stimulants till recently because I was either pregnant or trying to get pregnant. I notice that they seem to make me more awake (obviously). It is a subtle effect though. But when I don't take them I feel exhausted more throughout the day and just feel like I'm dragging myself through life. On weekends I'll nap more. But I just wonder is it really helping my ADHD? My pdoc always asks and I don't know. I don't necessarily feel more focused or less fidgety but maybe I am and it is so subtle I don't realize it? I mean if it's only treating my exhaustion I feel weird about taking them for that.

I've found it helps me focus, but I must motivate myself to START a task. Otherwise I'll waste time, etc. I feel subtle effects, it's still working. I take a benzo for a comedown. I take my meds daily.
