Re: Just starting Adderall XR and questions……..

Funny, About this post:

>>I’m assuming that the effects are supposed to be immediate. Not sure though? I have been on 20mg once a day for a week and I have noticed that I am a little more alert. Not quite in a usual fog……..It does surpress my appitite somewhat but not extreme. I am not sleeping well at night but I know this too is a side effect. At this point after only 1 week should I be amazed at the way I feel or is this normal for only after 1 week?? <<

I was doing a search and coming in to ask the SAME QUESTION!! I do get sleep now – it took a couple of days, but I do get sleep. The first 2 nights were NASTY – I kept tossing and turning and thrashing and got maybe 30 minutes in those 2 nights combined.

I’m not as sleepy during the day (I have sleep and rest issues, bording on narcolepsy in a sense) and can stay active physically and mentally into the evening now. HOWEVER, if I lose interest in a project or get interrupted, etc. – I’m still screwed as it might be hours if ever before I can wrap my head around that – there’s still NO motivation for things I NEED to do – I want to play, surf the web, work on my cars, fun stuff…… that has not changed a bit. I’m still scatterbrained and can’t organize a presentation. I’m all over the map.

So………….
