Does Adderall Cause Sleepiness And Fatigue?

I have been taking adderal for the past two years but for the past two weeks I’ve been feeling tired after taking it especially when I’m doing my schoolwork. I’m on vyvanse in the mornings and afternoon and I take Adderall at night to focus on school work. Is it normal for me to feel sleepy taking adderal?

HI,

Adderall is a stimulant so that when it wears off, you can feel the opposite effects to those it creates.This can make a person feel tired and sluggish, which is known as an Adderall crash.

In this case you should consult your doctor about the dose of the medication.

Hope I have answered your query.
