Hi,
You have not mentioned the reasons for all the medications that are prescribed. Adderall or amphetamine has a propensity to cause tolerance, which means, over a period of time the effects of the drug starts reducing with the same dosage of the drug. This may be the reason you are not experiencing similar effects.
Trazodone and sertraline (zoloft) do not show such properties. A possibility is that your symptoms may have increased in severity than earlier, or maybe you are facing a stressful life situation coincidentally. Feeling of tiredness or fatigue, disturbed sleep and increase in anxiety may be symptoms rather than side effects of medications. It is advisable you consult your psychiatrist to optimize or alter your medications.
Hope this helps,
Dr Anjana rao.
