Stimulants and NauseaFiled Under: Side Effects of ADHD Meds, ADHD Stimulant Medications, ADD Meds: Dosing
Q:
"Recently, I've felt nauseated during the middle of the day and very tired by the end of the day. Could this be caused by my stimulant medication?" 
A:
I don't have enough information to give you a definite yes or no. I suggest that you stop taking the medication for a week. If the midday nausea stops, it might have been caused by your medication, so talk to your doctor about trying a different one. If it does not go away, your doctor needs to explore other causes.
