Heya,

I just started taking Adderall IR. My doctor started me on 5mg for now, and we're watching to see what that does. I definitely feel it's working, although it's only about 5 days in, so we'll see how it goes.

What I'm wanting to find out from others who've taken it is:

1) How long does it take to kick in?

2) When does it start to wear off in relation to when you take it?

I know everybody's body is different, but I'd like to have a general idea of what to expect in order to better to guage how it affects me. Thanks!

2) About 3 hours or so

I started on 5 mg twice a day. Now I can take 10 mg 4 times a day, but have found 5 mg 3 to 4 times a day is working for me right now.

Good luck.
