Wish I could have stayed on Vyvanse but $400 out of pocket, no way
Amphetamine XR Not as good but not too bad. $300 out of pocket..goodbye.
Amphetamine IR is like taking a sleeping pill to me.
I've slept 3 hours today (nap) and I could do the same again right now. $60120 mg Vyvanse
40 mg on the othersTen years ago I took 60 mg Adderall. This sucks. Think I'll lean back in the chair and sleep for an hour.
Anyone know why Amphetamine is like Ambien to me?

Could it be that you have built up a tolerance to amphetamines to the point that you take one and that makes your body tired? Maybe a holiday from the amphetamines would help. And if you do take a holiday, perhaps you should consider switching to Ritalin. I like it SO much better than the amphetamines. Amphetamines just don't do anything for me really. But Ritalin can make me feel good. Plus Ritalin, the IR form at leaast, is dirt cheap. It's worth it trying different stims because everyone can react differently to each one. I am trying Focalin, today is my first day, and already I'm thinking it may be absolutely wonderful...it doesn't make me feel too anxious.
Just my 2 cents. I wish you lots of luck.

Strange- I could (just about) accept a paradoxical reaction to amphetamines, but to have a paradoxical reaction to IR but not to SR amphetamines sounds very strange.
Have you noticed this before, or is it just with this bottle of pills? (ie, did you get a dud batch of pills, or did the pharmacist accidentaly give you Seconal instead of amphetamine?)

No, I was on XR for two months and just got the IR filled three days ago. Yesterday I leaned back in my chair three times and went out like a light. Now today.
These are made by Barr and I always liked their generic Ritalin which I think I'll go back to. I think I used to be on 40 mg. I liked Vyvanse. So smooth.

Amphetamines have a paradoxical effect on me too. I feel sleepy, unmotivated, edgy. Wellbutrin made me depressed and exhausted. Ritalin put me to sleep. Adderall gave me a boost of energy for a day or two, then made me sleepy. Weird. Drugs affect us all differently.
