Ive browsed basically every article under the adderall thread and i have found similar results but not to the same effect. When i first was first setup on adderall the doc had me at 20mg of Adderall and this was to sample dosage. Doc had me call him once a week to see where we needed to go with it. First day on adderall 20mg was great, fully motivated, tons of energy...the different person everyone has been talking about. Similar effect on the day after, great feeling(the reason i wanted to take adderall). Day 3 onto about 2 weeks later adderall made me extremely tired. Really not mentally but my eyes could barely stay open. Was a wierd feeling because if i were to close my eyes, my mind was wide awake. Doc then told me to lower dosage, bneing tired was usually a sign of to much. So i dropped it to 15, then 10, then 5...same exact tiredness. Just out of desperation i started 30mg a day which didnt make me tired(alittle) but didnt make me feel fantastic either. I kept taking the 30's for the next week because i figured my body was still getting use to it which was suggested in other topics. I just went to the doc a few days ago, we changed my setup to 30mg XR's to see if i have any better results. These are making my eyes alittle tired, nothing that effects me much. As for the meds themself i really dont feel anything enhanced by taking them. As for focus, energy ect..i guess my motivation is up alittle but thats about it. Doc has me trying these for 2 weeks and gave me some sample meds that had 0 effect(i forget the name). Well doc says in 2 weeks when i come in he is thinking straterra and give that a shot. Im whilling to give them a shot, but i was thinking ritalin would be more effective becuase it tends to have more of a energy part to it then straterra. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
