I have recently started taking Adderal XR. I've taken two 10mg doses thus far. The last was on Sunday. I took it first thing in the morning at 8/8:30. I went to bed at 11:30. When I tried to sleep, my mind was just racing. It reminded me of when I took melatonin. Granted, I was worried about missing a flight the next morning, but it is not something that normally happens to me.

Has anyone else had similar issues with Adderal XR? It seems to last a very long time for me. I'm thinking of talking to my doctor about getting the short lasting version. It would be helpful for days when I want the effects, but want to do exercise later in the day.

Thanks in advance for your help.

That is very typical side effect of Adderall XR. For me it went away in about a week. Normally it doesnt last very long at all.

I've been on the same dosage and I've experienced the same thing...

Does taking Vitamin C or any other vitamin/food in the evening help to reduce the effect of the drug at bedtime??

I can't find a difinitive answer about this :(
