Drained after a day on Ritalin?

Safe to say that you really have ADHD lol but for real, that's completely normal. Mine made me nap for 5 hours my first day. I'm guessing you could nap after a coffee too? One tip, make yourself get started on your tasks before it kicks in. When it kicks in, you will stay focused.

Ritalin lasts maybe 2.5 hours. I take strattera after to make it last longer.

Thank you both! I’m still experimenting with different doses and long/short release and so far still have a massive crash in the end of the day. The worst part is that despite feeling totally drained I can’t sleep which defeats the purpose of the whole thing, isn’t it 🤣
