Adderall Tolerance - What next?

[Vagusnervex]

If anyone has gone through having an Adderall tolerance, what has been the course of action on the doc's part? Just increasing the dose? Or switching meds?

more ideas for finding a specialist:

- Your family doctor might know of a good psychiatrist

- Find a therapist, therapy group that who specializes in treating ADHD and ask who they refer to for meds (that's how I found mine)

- Try the Psychology Today website's "Find a Therapist" and "Find a Psychiatrist." Find some profiles you like, then call and ask for a callback. You can probably rule out ones that you know you don't feel comfortable with right away after just a few minutes on the phone.

Be ready with a brief (one minute or less) high-level introduction/problem description and a couple of questions, especially if you're like me and ramble when you're nervous. A little preparation is good because psychiatrists usually spare only about 5 minutes. It's not as important to explain the details of your case as to use the time to hear the doctor's style and manner. The question that was most useful to me in this process was, "Can you help someone with this problem/what would be your approach?"

For me, personally, my tolerance has not changed at theraputic doses.
