Yeah, isn't that weird? Hey, you are not the first person to report getting tired on a stimulant though. It happens. If you think about it, it helps calm down overactive kids. What's up with that? Other people, it would send them through the roof.
I thought of the same thing when my doc mentioned he has success with Gabapentin in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. I thought Gabapentin was sleep inducing, relaxing, lethargic, anti-anxiety, stuff like that. But in some people, it perks them instead.
I think it all has to do with some complex interplay between our hormonal status, particularly cortisone, and the sensitivies of our receptors, specifically the NE and DA ones. Either oversensitive, or undersensitive, and thus reacting differently to a given stimulus.
