Re: Adderall XR 30mg making me impatient and grouchy

[Anonymous]

As part of my Adderall XR regimen, my doctor started my on 10 mg/day, as my body is sensitive to the effects of medication (on Effexor, for example, I could only handle 75 mg/day). A month later, we went to 20 mg, once a day. After that, my dosage was raised to 20 mg upon rising, and an extra 20 mg at lunch (if I knew I was gong to have a long day). After three more weeks on just the morning dose, I started taking the lunchtime dose on a regular basis (unless I sleep in really late). In the meantime, my body clock had to get used to a lower sleep requirement. This past week, the psychiatrist and I agreed to hold to the 2x/day regimen. My wife is in total agreement–a couple nights before, she saw the effect on my late night driving when I hadn’t taken my lunchtime dose!
