This is my second day on 10 mg's of Adderall. The stuff makes my extremely hazy and uncomfortable. I cannot really function too well around the house. Can anybody comment on this? Is there a dosing problem, or does this stuff just not work on me?

Hard to say what's happening here - could be dosage, could be you don't react well to Adderall, could be anxiety due to the drug, your expectations of what the drug will do.....if it's only your second day, I'll stick it out unless you feel very uncomfortable, or overly anxious, heart palpitaions, etc. I'm sure your doctor gave you instructions (?)
It's not uncommon for people to feel "weird" at first - for many of the reasons I mentioned above. There is so much pent up expectation by the time we get our first prescription that you can almost work yourself into a "froth" just getting ready to take your first pill, especially if you're nervous about stimulants to begin with. This passes pretty quickly. 10 mg is not a lot of Adderall, so I wouldn't think that it's too much - but some people do take very light doses, so you might be one of those people?

10mg is not enough. Check the poll on dosage, you will find people all the way to 100mg. I experimented and I am at 15 to 20mg. Works great.
