I react "backwards" to antihistamines... I took a hydroxyzine for a panic attack and was so wired I didn't think I'd ever sleep again. Of course if I take an Adderall, that makes me sleepy.
- 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.
