And if you are on Adderall XL plus IR boosers, could you tell me your dosing schedule?

I have been on Adderall IR 60 mg a day for a long time, been switched to Ritalin which absolutely does not work for me, and talked to my doctor today. I am going back to get an Adderall prescription. I like the IRs because I can control when they hit and how much to take , whether I need it more in the morning or later. But I am wondering if a baseline XL would help smooth me out more.

The Adderall IR had been working but not as well anymore, hence the switch to Ritalin. Wonder if I could benefit from a combo of the XL and the IRs or if I should leave well enough alone. (Not to mention my dr may just say stick with what has worked for me).

Thanks for any replies.

In my opinion, I wouldn't mix medication unless told so by a doctor...

I am taking 50xr a day. I started adderall in Sept., with 10, then 20, then 30. By one month I was on 50, which what finally worked for me. I tried 50 ir, didn’t like it. I wished I could take the 50xr twice a day, since it only lasts about 6 or 7 hours. But that’s too much. I had some 10irs left, so tried taking a 25xr and a 10ir in the morning, and the same at 1:00 (6 or 7 hours later). 70mg altogether. Concluded it was too much. Am now experimenting with 25xr in the morning, 25xr at 1:00 for past week. Also drinking about 4 cups of tea a day (no later than 1:00). Seems to be working well. Makes me wonder if the 50xr was too high, and I just went up to it too fast, so didn’t notice. I know what foods to avoid, too, now, which helps. Good luck!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

I'm not going to mix meds without my doctor's approval! I'd have to get the prescription from him anyway, so I couldn't without it.

i do things with my med my way. i know and studied my body but every1 is diff jus like you i doubt you could handle 300mg of ir but me i can. poo
