It seems that your ? has been answered, but I thought I would note that your height and weight are not a factor when prescribing adderall. The dose is based on the individual's brain's metabolism of the drug.
60mg may be a huge dose for some; while, for others, it may not be enough. Although, for you, it sounds as though A.) it's too much -or- B.) wrong med.
Definitely be careful when taking stims, especially if they're not prescribed to you. A number of people have serious complications (sometimes resulting in death) when they take stimulants. They also often cause appetite suppression. If you eat food, especially food high in ascorbic acid, you should begin to feel better more quickly.
today i took 2 Adderall XR capsules to get some last minute work done (finals week). I have been diagnosed with adult add (im 22) but havent yet or be perscribed any medication for it. I took one capsule at about 6:30am and then a second about 11:30am and since about 1:30pm today I'm feeling a little like I have a buzz, my body is kind of tingly and floppy is this how it makes you feel or did I take too much. please help! the two i did take werent mine they were from a friend. i took 60mg total, 30 each and if you need to know im about 5'11 and weight about 190-195lbs. also i havent eaten much some coffee, dinner roll and a half a sandwich.That sounds like alot of medication to me for someone who doesn't take stimulants. That is why you need a doctor, (not only b/c it is illegal to take other people's meds....) you need someone to guide you on proper dosing and to make sure you have no underlying conditions that may make certain medications harmful to you. Finals week is not a time to mess around with yourself - get to a reputable doctor and make sure any medication you get is safe and effective for you. should i be worried or will i just ware off? i have a final tonight at 6pm hope im okay .. i feel really stupid i wish had to money get a complete diagnosis and some meds of my own when i took just the one i felt okay but i dont know why i took the second ... stress i guess
Be worried if you start to feel something bad, difficulty breathing, heart racing, etc. then get to the hosp. I think you should be fine, but I'm not a Dr.
Other than that, you'll probably be up very late tonight. Just try to concentrate on your finals. Good luck and don't do that again!!
thanks! i should have went with my first instinct, and not taken the second one, i guess 60mg is quite a bit. ive noticed when im busier and not sitting around typing this damn term paper its better to keep moving, ill have to jog around a bit before my final tonight.
Thanks all, especially you hawk this forum is great!
