Still can't wake up/falling asleep

Posted by slacker on September 25, 2002 at 17:28:17:

Does anyone have the problem with the meds that I have?

When I wake up in the morning, I am soo drowsy and I take my Adderall before I get out of bed, with the idea that in 30 minutes or so it will wake me up. Not so. I fall right back asleep and it will never wake me up, I can sleep through the whole dose.

Also, while the drug helps with the compulsion to sleep while I am up and about, the irresistable "I must sleep now" attacks that I can't fight, it won't prevent me from falling asleep if I voluntarily sit or lay down.

I take 15mg Adderall 2x.
Anyone have any comments on this?
