I have been on Adderall XR for 4 months. At first I had all of the normal side effects. They wore off. I began noticing a drop off of effectivness about an hour after I ate lunch. I was again trying to do things too fast. I discussed this with my doctor. He added a second dose at noon 20mg that I am to cut in half (In the tablet form). Everything seemed to be fine for the first few days. Which was the same effect as when I first started taking the XR. Over the last few days I have had less effectiveness in the morning. After the second pill is taken I am fine for a while, then all of a sudden I get unmotivated, and a fogged feeling. I think maybe I am just reacting to the additional medication. I was doing very well on the 25, just it was not lasting long enough into the evening and I was beginning to supplement w/caffiene, which I know is no substitut. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks...Jonathan
I'm not taking Adderall XR but I am taking Concerta and I tried adding a second dose in the afternoon and it f'ed me up. The first hour after i take the pills i feel great and then i become unmotivated and tired. I've heard good things about XR though. I'm thinking of trying it.
