It is my personal oppinion that when you go from hyper to complete zombie that its just too high of a dose and the wrong kind of medication. I know this because I have been there. Sometimes it take a lot of trial and error with different brands and different medications but once you find a comfortable dose it works great. I switched off of ritalin when I was about 20 because it starting causing bad mood swings(drawbacks of using it for 13 years) and I have been on adderall ever since and its truly helps me stay on task, as well as still have a personality and be social without being hyper-crazy. When I dont take medicine I talk too much, too fast, cant sit still, cant stay on one thought for more than a second....... I cant even get work done at all. I think its all in the doseage
