An evening slump that people compare to jet lag is something some people describe as stimulant coverage fades, though it is not proven to be literal jet lag. The comparison is a metaphor for feeling wiped, foggy, or out of phase, not a diagnosis. CADDRA lists rebound among stimulant effects and notes that analyzing the timing of side effects helps a clinician interpret them. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.
