Is it possible to fall asleep on Adderall xR?

Q: I currently take Adderall XR 20 mg. I have been taking it on almost a daily basis. I currently find myself extremely tired, yet I have problems falling asleep and I think its because of the Adderall. Right now, I’m also pretty moody and I’m not sure why. (maybe because my menstrual cycle is about to hit). Does taking adderall affect the mood?

A: Of course it’s possible to fall asleep on it, and many people with ADHD will have reverse reactions where it makes them somewhat sleepy. I’m a person with a reverse reaction to any kind of stimulant – I drink caffinated tea (coffee is yucky) to help me go to sleep at night.However, Adderall (amphetamine) is a very potent stimulant. Therefore, insomnia while on it is also very common. See your doctor about when you take it and dosage, and possibly if it’s even the right medication for you. Tell your doctor everything you said here.As for moodyness, most people it makes happier, but we are talking stimulant drugs and they will affect each person’s body differently. Watch how you feel on the days you don’t take it and report to your doctor everything you observe (write it down so you don’t forget anything). Changes in dosage and/or medication may be needed.

Q: I woke up this morning and took my adderall 30mg xr and fell asleep a half an hour later I then woke up an hour later.I don’t think its still working.Should I take another and how in the hell did I fall asleep on adderall?

A: Medications affect people in different ways. I had an elderly patient once who got Ritalin to help him stay active. Children take these medications to “help them focus”. When I volunteered in my child’s kindergarten class, I saw a child stay asleep all morning. The teacher said the child did that every day. I was so disturbed I made a determination to never allow my children to take the meds. Never take more medication than is prescribed. Call your doctor if you are concerned.
