Hi Im a 25 year old female who takes adderal Xr, why its it that when I take it I feel fine, happy, able to work better but in less then 4hrs I begin to feel depressed, and extremely anxious until I take another one? I just began the meds a week ago. After a few hrs taking the second dose the same thing happens and I start thinking too much and become very negative. I also have trouble sleeping now due to my thoughts keeping me awake at night. Ive had that problem during the day until I started the meds but now I only feel normal when i take them, once they start wearing off its the worst feeling possible. Why?
Hello, Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for posting your query. From the description that you have given it appears that you are having with Chat Doctor.  Normally Adderall has an action for only a few hours after which the effect seizes. It stops to show its beneficial effect. But normally it doesn't show any side effects. But some may have them as the effect is wearing off. If you are facing the trouble you should contact your psychiatrist and get your meds replaced by methylphenidate or bupropion. You may do well with these medications. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
