My first day of taking Adderall XR 20 mg per day was absolutely amazing! I decided to test the effectiveness on my ADD (unattentive type). I went to my friends house and him and my other friend were talking right in front of me while the tv was on, while I was reading the ingredients of a pop can trying to remember the ingredients in order. I was able to remember in order the first 10 ingredients (I didn't try to remember more than the first 10 ingredients). I only studied the the ingredients for approximately 5 to 7 minutues! The background noise of my 2 friends talking or the tv being on did not disturb me nor did I have wondering thoughts. I was able to fully focus and concentrate.

Do most people my age (26) with ADD (unattentive type) respond as well as I have on Adderall XR 20 mg per day?

From the research I have read, consuming more than 20 mg of Adderall XR has not been proven to be substantially effective for adults according to a FDA study. I am trying to determine the threshold dosage where I can take the maximum amount before side effects become intolerable. My doctor said between 20mg and 30 mg.

Do you think taking 25 or 30 mg or more would significantly benefit me or would the side effects outweigh the benefits?

What are the ingredients? I'm not convinced you succeeded until you tell me the 10 in order.

Stay with 20... in a few weeks you will probably up the dose from tolerance or something... don't voluntarily up the dose... you will "know" when you should up it.

Correction, 8 ingredients. My point was, there was no way in hell I could have recalled that, let alone in order, with both my friends in front of me talking with each other while the TV was on. I don't possess the short term memory or the concentration in order to do that.

LoL man I was totally kidding. Enjoy the diet soda :D Oh Oh Ask how I know it was diet :D I'm psychic!!

Do you think me being able to remember those 8 weird ingredients in order in no more than 7 minutes with all of those external distractions is impressive for Adderall XR 20mg per day for the 1st day?

Sounds good. Since you said weird I guess you haven't heard them said much.

LoL man I was totally kidding. Enjoy the diet soda :D Oh Oh Ask how I know it was diet :D I'm psychic!!You knew it was diet because of the Aspartame. :rolleyes:

lol

Interesting...but I was under the impression that you weren't suppose to ingest anything with Citric Acid because it slows the absorbtion of adderall?

I guess I shouldn't assume you drank the soda in questions! :rolleyes:

Great to hear that you are having a postive experience with Adderall XR :) good luck on more practical futuer uses (unless you're getting into the soft drink biz ;))

Yup. Don't take stimulants with Acidic foods/drinks. It lowers absorption. If you have had Acidic foods/drinks, you could try to reverse it by taking an Antacid.
