New to Adderall XR, question? | ADHD Information

I just started taking adderall xr 15 mg on May 20, the 1st day I was a bit woozy, but able to focus a little better. It seems that the last 3 days I able losing the ability to focus at all around noon or a little later and I get real sleepy. Has anyone experienced this? Am I on too high or too low of a dosage, or does this pass as my body gets used to the med? Any help would be appreciated.Thanks so much for sharing, I just called my Dr. & explained how I'm feeling, hope they call me back soon.

Hi shock, another quick question for you. Are you taking the adderall xr or reg. adderall?

I was on 10mgs for a couple days and I noticed the same "losing of focus" around noon...so I took another 10mgs and I was good the rest of the day. Maybe you need to do the same thing. Check with your Dr. first. When my psychiatrist started me on Adderall, she told me that I may need to take two a day if I started feeling it wear off in the early afternoon.

As for the woozy effect, it's normal and it will go away after a few days. I never get tired on Adderall.
Adderall XR, my psychiatrist doesn't prescribe regular Adderall because she feels it doesn't work as well. My friend was on regular Adderall and switched to XR and she says XR is a lot better.
