Have you taken a "stim. break" from the Adderall since starting it? Sounds like you've built up a tolerance to it (happens alot w/stims.). May I ask why you are taking it? What dosage? Really sounds like you need to take a break from it. Sometimes all one needs when taking a stim. is to stop is for say....weekend breaks then your tolerance goes down again. Hope that made sense.P.L.
