Am I taking too much?I was reading a bit about adderall dosage, and they kept saying that in some instances a 3rd dose may be required. Then it dawned on me that I'm taking 4-5 on some days. Should I be concerned? I metabolize this stuff like it's water unfortunately, and I only get about 3 hours out of each SR dose.
Now, I don't always have days like this. Some days I'm not up until noon, or I don't have to work in the evening, so I'll end up doing 12.5/25/5-10mg. So my dosage ranges from 42.5mg-55mg depending on the day. But I never really take less. I think what really scares me is how much I dislike being off of the medication. I crave the calm. I'm severely ADHD, and the hyperactivity in particular is so uncomfortable. And I hate the mental fog so much that I just never want to have to deal with it. I just cannot stand that constant low level mental and physical discomfort. I also have found myself drinking a lot more than usual, and I think I'm doing it to help ease the rebound at the end. I don't have any desire to drink while I'm on adderall (historically I've been a binge drinker...mostly to relieve the ADHD), but once it ends I find myself drinking again to calm me down again. Would love some feedback. |
