I am a 26 year old male, was diagnosed with ADHD, 11 months ago. First few days on adderal felt like I had been serverly nearsided for 26 years and someone put a pair of glasses on me for the 1st time. Started with 50 mg of adderl a day, then went to 70 90 120 then now @ 150mg perday. Half a AD-30mg IR(15mg) in the am together w 2 pills AD-XR 30 mg in the am, then the same about 8 hours later-max 150 mg a day, I try to do less, often "just" 135mg/day.(yes i do have kick *** insuarance fromu europe, my premium is 130$ a months, adderal alone being 980$months, lol< i am sure they lLOVE me_lol)
Been experiencing a lot of anxiety(its not cause by the adderall, it takes it away actually-I have experienced goin w out or less and its far worse), due to myself goin thru divorce etc.When that started, the focus went out the window...and up went the dosages.
I am NOT abussing these meds(snorting it,selling it...etc)
My Pdoc is an adult ADD specialist,only treats adults 70% w add(I asked him) so was his father who founded a very prestigeous Adult Add clinic one state over. I am saying this because there are LOTS of DR out there that missprescribe various meds who they have no idead about what they are prescibing. I am speaking fro experience, as i know quite a bit about various drugs and know whats just plain WRONG.
However, I dont think that this is the case, in my case. Hearts rate/bloodpressure and bloodwork are fine.
Just confused, browsed the net, never read anout amyone taking more the 70 mg a day or so, so just scratching my head a bit.
Any thougts anyone? Anyone taking a similar dosage?

PS; I have a VERY!! high drug tollerance, example:I can take 2 hydroxycut(fatburner w 200 mg of caffeine and drink 2 redbulls w out any jitters, well i dont do that anymore now -post adderal.
Sorry if I rambled in this post, 1st time posting here.

I have no advice. For once? This is very bad case of tolerance. I know no way to lower that big of a tolerance. I'm glad I have a natural low tolerance to just about anything other than caffeine. The funny thin is weight has very little to do with tolerance, but can you tell me you're weight and height? I weigh 168 and I'm 6'0 and I get intense effects from Adderall at 20mg. I would hate to have that high of a tolerance.

I'm wondering why you were started at such a high dose to begin with?

Isn't the maximum starting dosage around 30-40mg? Do you know why your physician started you so high?

I'm wondering the same thing. It's not very safe to start, or ethical (imo) to start someone on such a high dose. Side effects galore!

Yo I also have a high caffeine tolerance. Last year I used Animal cuts, and drank spike energy. I would not do animal cuts and spike back to back though. Redbull sucks...too much sugar.

I'm on 40mg adderall. I take a day off once a week...or go down to only 10mg. I eat healthy, take vitamins and fishoil daily, workout and sleep.

BTW, how do you sleep?
