I am an adult female who was diagnosed as having ADHD after extensive testing in 2005. I was eventually found to do great on 15mg ER dextroamphetamine 3 x's daily. I had to stop my meds due to losing insurance. Now I am 39, have insurance again and just worked my way back to that same dosage daily. I do pretty good, but if I am sitting here dealing with paperwork or the computer, I tend to nod off as I am reading or even doing something... soo weird to be someone who can sit and fall asleep on an amphetamine. Also relevent, mother had bipolar/schizo effective disorder (paranoid type), father was terribly narcoleptic... I have the track record of a true add-er, paper trail and all to prove it. Any ideas why or what I should do? Thanks!
