It seems a coincidence that you mention feeling burned out and dulled by Adderall. I've been feeling a little burned out lately. I've always felt dulled or vegetative on stimulants. Like I wrote in the previous posting, Adderall and friends frequently have a calming effect on ADDers. If it's uncomfortable, then maybe you're on too much. If the lowest dosage strengh is making you feel that way, that probably indicates a need for a different med; such as Dexedrine which has been touted as "softer", or a low dose of Ritalin. Talk with your doctor. Another thing to consider is that you could be over-analyzing yourself and your reaction. Sometimes I'm unfair to myself by being hyper-acute to every little change or discomfort. Have you honestly given yourelf time to settle into the new medication? Can you say that you're not worrying needlessly? No person nor any drug is perfect.
