I just was recently diagnoised with ADHD both types and perscribed adderall xr 20mg. I am 19 years old and weigh 215 pounds (dont know if this matters)
I have some questions.
1) I am only notcing the effects of adderall for a little bit, I sit still more, but I dont think I focus more. Is the does to small?
and
2) I take the med in the morning and when I get back home from classes and sit down to study, I get extreamly extreamly tired. Why does this happen. Is the drug wearing off and what can I do so I can get my hw done at ngiht. I usually study and do hw at night.
Thanks for your respons.
I can feel the 20 mg dose of Adderall xr wearing off after about 6 hours.... it sounds like you, similar to me, are at the low end of its effectiveness range. When I told my doc that 6 hours wasn't enough to get me through the day, he switched the prescription from once a day to twice a day, which did the trick.
