Is it hydroxyzine? I am prescribed it as a non-habit forming anxiety medication, but it just knocks me out too so I only use it as a sleep aid. And if I take two my heart races and I can't sleep. My anxiety and depression have been significantly improved since starting TRT (I was way under the normal range for my age). I am waiting for cannabis to become legal here because smoking miniscule amounts as a teenager helped me tremendously in all aspects of life, but I never enjoyed, nay I feared, getting stoned.

- tnecniv 3y agoI’m not a doctor, but it's not uncommon for people with attention disorders to feel more tired when taking a stimulant. When it hits, your brain is finally not racing around and feels at peace. Just food for thought.
- CommitSyn 3y agoThat's just how stimulants are said to work for people with ADHD. They don't have enough dopamine for proper functioning, so when they do get a boost of dopamine they are able to function more normally. Wired (hyperactive) -> tired. I'm not aware of antihistamines making people with ADHD wired, but I do know someone that used to get energetic when they took a benadryl.
