:confused: brain working slower & feeling stupid, body lazy and muscles worn out. thats how adderall makes me feel. maybe even slightly sad (?), or less emotional. I am going through a very tough time of life right now, so it is hard to tell if the sadness is just a normal response to grief.

I will soon be job-hunting and I am hoping it will help me succeed at said (yet-to-be-found) job.

I'm sort of wondering if I'm just "back-to-normal"?, and how I usually feel is actually undesirable? It certainly wasn't making me a productive worker (when I worked, last jobs = 6yrs ago, fired 3x). And I also haven't felt "good" about myself in a very long time (if ever), so that is why I am hoping change will be good. But I'm really not sure.

If the dr. suggests working with it and adjusting the dosage, which was to you go? I'm taking 10mg bid (twice a day).

Have you talked to your doctor and told him/her how you are feeling? It sounds like you may have some depression going on as well and ADD meds won't necessarily help with that....and sometimes might make depression worse....maybe you need something to take along with the Adderall? I dont know...but I hope you are keeping your Dr. informed....good luck to you!
