I talked to my doctor yestarday and told him that 10mg two times a day seemed to work at first but not that much and i tried 20 mg worked couldn't tell if it was too much. He gave me a new perscription for 20mg of extended release and said to give it a few weeks. I am thinking now that the 20mg and that weird feeling could have been that I was thinkning differently. but who knows I will just have to see how I feel with the extended release.
Also i am going from generic adderall to extened release, I have read here that some people notice a difference. If there is a little bit of a difference was it good or bad.
Who is managing your medicine, your changes should be monitored by a doctor and any "wierd" feelings discussed. Medicines have side effects, but if your life, concentration, etc. improves, it may be what you need. Feeling more focused can also feel "wierd". Sometimes when people feel more "normal" they think" Wow, I feel strange" and this could be due to medicine effects or IT COULD BE BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT IT IS LIKE TO FEEL NORMAL. If you were raised having spent your life in front of three televisions and ten radio stations, and suddenly someone one day turned all of them off except one, you would feel wierd. Talk to your doctor!adderall puts me in a very motivated state. that might be the weirdness. it literally makes me feel like, "i need to be productive!" and then you put your mind to something and spend 2 hours on it and it felt like 20 minutes!
i wouldn't worry
I am so confused right now when it comes to taking adderall. Below is the dosages I have been taking and how I felt with them.
friday afternoon 10mg. ABle to tell it was working because better mood and a little more energetic. tried to do H.W. seemed to beable to focus when reading but couldn't do it more than 10 mins at a time.
Saturday 10 mg two times bascially same thing as friday.
Sunday morning 10 mg didn't get the same feeling and when I tried to do work seemed like it was harder to focus. So because of that I took 20 mg in the afternoon and bascially same thing as friday and saturday.
I continued to take 20mg 2 times a day from monday through wednesday. since tuesday on i didn't have that engertic feeling, But I felt something different but I am not sure how to explain it. I guess I kind of felt weird. I was really able to conentrate. One thing I noticed was studying for a test, I was really able to go over the information and feel like i understood it pretty well. I looked at the time after studying for awhile and I spent an hour and a half studying! but it didn't feel that long.
WAs the 20mg was too much? should I feel normal while taking the adderall or should I feel something different. ?
this morning I took 10mg around 7:30 seems like I am able to concentrate on work but I can't feel It start working like I do with the 20mg.
ohh also later I realized that the energetic feeling isn't good to have it means it is too much or something.
