Hello.

I thankfully have found your support site and was wondering if anyone could provide me with some information.

What is a dangerous level for Adderall XR? Is there an amount that you could take that would cause serious medical problems?

Has anyone had experience with taking more than the recommended amount prescribed?

I am desperately looking for some help/advice, so any that you can provide would be so appreciated.

Thanks,

Shana

My doctor said 30mg XR once a day is and should be the max. Well maybe 40mg, 2x20mg XR. I think that is the max or so he says.

It's very hard to say since everybody reacts differently to medication. If the ammount that your doctor has prescribed you doesn't feel like it's enough, communicate that to him or her. It's not a good idea to just experiment on your own though.

Many DR's will prescribe the smallest ammount then gradually have the patient increase the dosage to find the correct ammount.

My neurologist told me 30mg/day was max safe dose for normal adderal., but that was for the sake of formality. 20 mg only works for 3-4 hours for me, so I take it up to 3x daily, and he said that's okay as long as I don't experience any side effects.
