So I'm not taking my Adderall right now. I'm waiting for my appt with my new psychiatrist on Dec 22. I'm just disappointed that it didn't *seem* to work for me.

Of course, I question myself all day every day as to whether I just didn't give it enough time. Or if I should call my Dr. and ask for a lower dose (was taking XR 20mg once a day) or ask if I can go back on Wellbutrin.

I'm sure I should just wait it out. I'm driving myself crazy though.

So simply... if I was getting really tired.... and foggy on the dose, was it most likely too high or too low? My GP said (through her nurse, over the phone) she thought it was too low a dose and just wanted to up it to XR 30mg... but she hadn't even spoken to me or anything.

Please help... it may not even help me make a decision but it will help my intense desire for this answer!!! I've been researching this like mad for days and can't seem to find any solid info. I guess I just want to be satisfied that I understand what "went wrong".... that and I want to stop researching it. I waited so many years to finally take the step towards treating my ADHD now I'm just standing still. :( Thanks in advance.

might want consider taking IR instead of XR, that doesnt seem too lose a dose by the way....
i had similar issue on XR, didnt work for me

Dr. Charles Parker writes extensively about what he calls the "Theraputic Window." His concept is that when ADHD meds are at the correct dose, positive effects are maximized, side effects are minimized, and the duration of the medication is appropriate. Here's a link to the articles that discuss the "Bottom" (dose too low), the "Sides" (side effects) and the "Top" (dose too high).

Wow. Thanks.

That's a TON of info so It's going to take a while to process but I really appreciate it. :)
