Has anyone that takes both Adderall XR and Immediate release makes them extremely tired?

Question

My doctor prescribed me 30mg Adderall XR in morn and one 10mg Immediate in afternoon. When I take the Immediate 10mg Adderall when the XR wears off I then get extremely tired about 1hour after I take it! I have been taking adderall for awhile and it used to keep me motivated and very concentrated on my task but now I have no effect with it. Why would this happen. Im going to ask my doc as soon as my next appt but I just want opinions from others taking this. Could it be that I need to up my XR dose? Should I ask my doc to switch 10mg immediate to 10mg XR for mid afternoon? Any suggestions to ways to make my adderall work better than it has.

Answer 1

I guess this is being prescribed to you for ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). So, there is a possibility that this might be one of its desired effects.
