Can Adderall XR make you tired and feel sick?

Pros: No “Crash” effect! This is a subtle slow down, and it effected my sleep for the first week but everything was fine after that! Itake it an hour before I wake up and I’m ready to go with “toads” list in hand and Id never felt so awake and alert/focused! I could FINALLY get my house in order, paperwork finished, bills paid, journaling done, even left time to start a business and a hobby! No nausea, no stomach cramps (and I have major GI issues!!) Didn’t increase but decreased my severe anxiety. So when this was first prescribed to me, again I had tried every ADD/ADHD on the market: Most “salts” made me extremely sleepy (worst lethargic feeling ever!!), forgetting things even more often,extremely bloated—It was both the IR & XR! Ritalin was even worse, it made me Binge watch anything with an m ‘extended editions’ of movies like Lord of the Rings for an example... (this lasted weeks for sometimes 12-14 hours straight!!) ! This continued too long!! All increased my arrhythmia, paranoia, irritability, etc! This has been a dream medication!!! Thought I’d list some of my pros & cons are just how it effects me.

Cons: No Generic available. So, it is extremely expensive (over $300 a month until deduction is met then $50 a month, I’m double covered on insurance too but it isn’t until July until I start seeing it start to lower!) However, the drug company does have a co-pay assistance card that is for anyone new or switched dosage. Just print it off their website or put it in your ‘virtual wallet’ for the pharmacy (don’t forget many pharmacies have different costs so shop around, I didn’t find any of the Rx Cards effective; the coupon Is for a $35 co-pay (Last time I used it a year or so ago. Luckily, every time you switch either up or down (we upped my dose every 12 months to regenerate a new code! Caveat, after you’ve gone thru all of them— you’re done!

I used to drink exuberant amounts of coffee to control my ADHD, but the 1-2gals of expresso has wrecked my bladder. I can't drink coffee unless I go to the restroom every 10 minutes and at times causes an UTI. To be able to do my bills, I drank 4 Starbucks doubleshots, which ultimately led to a bladder irritability/infection. Yes, I was able to catch up on paying bills and paperwork. Today, I took an IR pill again at 4:00pm, and instantly fell asleep. Since I just woke up, I'm searching all kinds of forums for a cause and solution.
I'm currently filing authorizations for my insurance to approve my 20mg/2 a day for the adderall XR. It's been a 3week battle with insurance, pharmacy, and Dr's office staff. Since, it's a highly controlled substance, it's such a nightmare for us with true debilitating disorders. For now, I got 2-3 10mg IR pills left for sleep, and Mt.bills/paperwork growing on my desk. I'm getting stressed out cause I need to buckle down on these bills and my bladder can't take even 1oz of caffeine unless I start wearing Depends.

I do find it interesting the theory in a response about the brain not getting enough oxygen. I guess I should start exercising again. Hopefully, it will be the remedy. And... I may as well go get a box of depends since insurance companies can't get their crap together.
