>Is it possible that it's the shock of a change in brain chemistry that makes you feel good for a while? I think on any medication there's a drift back to setpoint. I definitely find this with Provigil. Now I have to take my morning Provigil to avoid sleeping all day. It doesn't feel like it initially did.

Homeostasis is a bitch. I think an under-researched (or at least under-acknowledged) problem in psychiatry is tolerance/adaptation and how the body seems to try it's DAMNDEST to get people back to their set points.
