I switched from Concerta (didn’t work along with nasty side effects) to Adderall. Startign to see some improvement and have already been on the phone with Dr to start figuring out the right dosage.
I find that if I take Adderall XR when I first get up (5:30am) it really only lasts me until just after lunch time (12:30 or so). I know it is supposed to be long lasting (10-12 hrs) and have read that the higher the dose you go the longer it lasts?
Would like to see if anyone out there has taken the XR twice daily, or any other medication as a boost near the end. My only fear is the sleep aspect, however I am also on Elavil (and have been for years) which tends to make you sleepy.
It is so awesome to start to begin to see a little bit of improvement in my focus, and would love to not have to drop off in the afternoon.
I should also mention that I am in Canada and Adderall IR is not available…
Thanks so much!
