Adderall XR or Adderall IR | ADHD Information

Share
I was wondering what is best for steady realease of medicine. I read that XR are 50% IR and 50% XR so that it releases half instantly and another half sometime later. I have been taking 7.5mg 3X before 2:00 P.M. and it has worked well. I will be visiting my doctor and didn't know if I should try 20mg XR or stick to what is working. What is your thoughts?

Well since I didn't get a response I thought I would give my input. I started the Adderall XR 20mg/day at the beginning of the month and although it took a week or so to get used to I'm glad I made that switch. There is much less of a "crash" in the evening. I take it about 1 hour after my morning smoothie "tropical fruit and orange juice" about 8:30 a.m. and I'm usually good to do early study in the evening until around 9:00 p.m.

I think it has been mentioned here that orange juice and vitamin c definitely interferes with the absorption or strength of the medication.
