Never been tested for ADHD, but I've suspected I have it. The fact that my motivation increases more with low dose prozac than stimulants makes me think it is more depression. Also I took prozac from age 16-21. Perhaps my brain is just dependent on it now for normal catecholamine release. :-/
Also amphetamines don't make me tired, its just that I am able to sleep a little better than I had initially, I had to take a remeron to get to sleep a couple times, but last night I didn't. Then again I went to bed at 4 am.
