I have taken adderall on and off for the past few years (no more for than a week at a time, hardly even a few times a year) i finally decided to get checked by a doctor for add since it really helped me focus, and got perscribed it about 3 days ago. He gave me the 30 milligrams...XR.. the first day it worked fine, i felt alert and focused. Yesterday it worked, but not for long, i got very tired by 8 (and i not taken it till 12ish) to the point where i had to leave work. Today, i took it again in hopes my body would respond how it has in the past and it being just a fluke. Instead, it has no effect at all. I almost felt like i was dragging myself all day with absolutley no energy. And throughout the day, especially later, i've been very irritable. Obviously, i'm going to talk to my doctor, but i guess i just wanted some responses from people that may have gone through something similar. I guess in cases like this it is sometimes reassuring to know your not the only one.

Anyways, now that i said basically my life story, thanks for reading, hope to get some feedback.

  1. Since it worked the first day I think your diagnosis of ADD or ADHD is appropriate.  I would just ask for the next lower dose.  You want to live you life focused not like a "sleepy head"  :)  Good luck and hang in there.
