i can't sit still long enough to accomplish anything.
even when i am on 30 mg of adderal
why does this happen, i thought adderal was supposed to help you focus.
it has helped me with activities such as cleaning and running around doing errands but i can't sit in a chair and study wich is the reason i'm on it in the first place.
i got addicted to the adderall and now i ran out
i told my doc and he gave me strattera
i'm doing 30 mg of stratera and i don't feel it
what should i try/do?

I guess you mean your not getting effective treatment for hyperactivity.

There is also some evidence for differential responsivity to nicotine. There are marked similarities in the neurobiological and psychological effects of nicotine and methylphenidate (e.g., Pomerleau, 1997). It has been hypothesized that individuals with ADHD who are not taking stimulant medication may try to self-medicate by smoking. Certainly, unmedicated adolescents with ADHD smoke far more than do their medicated ADHD peers and their non-ADHD peers (Whalen, Jamner, Henker, Gehricke, & King, 2003). Krause, Dresel, Krause, la Fougere, and Ackenheil (2003) report that individuals with ADHD are far more likely to smoke than are individuals with ADD: “It was striking how many of the 20- to 40-year-old patients in our group, who had shown symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity in childhood, were smokers: nine smoked and only three were non-smokers … The opposite was shown in the patients with only inattentive symptoms throughout their whole life: only two smoked, seven were non-smokers” (pp. 610–611; although note that Tercyak, Lerman, & Audrain, 2002, report the opposite).

That study suggest primary inattentive ADHD might respond better to amphetamines like Adderall. Its possible combined type ADHD would respond better to methylphenidate.

jaytown, did you try lowering the dose? For me, 10mg IR is fine, but 15mg makes me very hyper.

Also, have you tried Dexedrine? It's a refined form of adderall that should give you the increased attention without the increased hyperactivity.

You shouldn't have abuse it and got addicted!
