20mg adderall xr – No such eureka moment here – it was “ho-hum”, should I be feeling anything, I thought? Just a bit of tight muscle in the chest (no, not heart issues)
It had solved my daytime sleepiness, but little else. MY wife did say that when she asked me for help or “come here a minute” instead of saying “I’m busy, I’ll be there in a while”, I was saying “on my way, be right there” after the meds.
Then 3 weeks pass, and even that effect is gone and I’m back to my old tired sleepy can’t stay away during boring times self. I did keep responding to her requests for help in a positive way, however, so maybe that was as much habit as anything and the adderall helped me change a habit?
Anyway, I told all this to my ADD person, and she’s double the dose, yes DOUBLED. I went from an initial starting dose of 20mg a day to 40mg a day. WOW, but still no eureka moment…………
focue, distractability, procrastination, short fuse (frustrated in interrupted) -= I’m the combined subtype, pretty severe case according to the docs. (and anyone who has met me personally or read my stuff would probably agree)
