I have been on the Adderall xr for 7 months now at 20 mg in morning, 10 mg noon, and 10 mg at 5 pm. Used to work wonders, I was in great mood, had energy, appetitie was curbed. Now all of a sudden, it seems to not even work. I take it, it seems like I haven't even taken it,, I have no energy, hungry all the time, very moody/depressed. What is going on with it? A friend suggested to take xr in morning then see about taking regular adderall as a booster in the afternoon times. That is fine but why all the sudden is it doing this. I would love and appreciate any suggestions.
Is there any posibility that you are going through a stressful time or have had any other changes (like started drinking orange juice with breakfast). During stress the brain does not function as efficiently and meds do not seem to work as well.
If you have had no changes, you may have developed tolerance to the med and need to adjust it.
Either way discuss the posibilities with the doc to come up with a posible solution.
