Yeah, that is curious. But if you think about it, the whole idea of using a stimulant to calm down an over active child requires a paradoxical reaction for it to work that way. I read the science behind it, didn't completely understand it, but had to do with the sensitivity of the person's dopamine receptors.
Ritalin can wire me up during the day and I can get a lot done. Then I go to bed thinking about insomnia, only to discover I slept better than in a long time! Go figure.
> Sorry about that, as it turned out the headache was actually a horrid caffeine headache that went away after a chocolate bar. Silly, right? But I have a new question: I was having insomnia before I added the Adderall xr and oddly enough, I sleep way better on it, but it makes me drowsy during the day? Seems Adderall should have the opposite effect?
